Bring your turkey full circle: recycle your cooking oil
|
|
Many people deep fry turkeys during the holiday season, leaving behind a lot of used cooking oil. But, what do you do with it afterwards? It can actually be dropped off for recycling!

Serve up your Thanksgiving feast, sustainably
|
|
There's a new, local service that provides Austin area residents with reusable alternatives to single-use dishes and utensils. The Austin Dish Lending Library is exactly like a library; but instead of books, it’s bowls. The library allows people to temporarily borrow plates, bowls, cups, silverware and other dishware for an upcoming event, whether it be an office party or at-home Thanksgiving celebration. Not only does using the library save you money (it’s free!), but it also helps keep single-use plastics out of the landfill.

Give a great story this holiday season

|
Searching for the perfect holiday gift for your family and friends? It may not fit in a box. Instead of the latest gadget or toy, give the gift of a great story. These fun and memorable gift ideas have the added bonus of being zero-waste friendly!
