Here are a few kitchen ‘Green Tips’ for those of you who will be spending an entire week in the kitchen with Thanksgiving right around the corner:

Fill a bowl with cold water and wash fruit and vegetables this way, instead of letting water from a faucet run over them.

Make sure the kitchen faucet is in the “cold” position when turning it on for brief periods.  You’ll waste significant energy turning on the hot water even before hot water starts to flow.

Buy organic foods.  Organic farms use natural growing practices that promote sustainable agriculture and provide healthy alternatives to conventional crops grown with pesticides and genetically modified organisms.  Ask your grocer’s produce manager to stock organic produce.
