Since Green Living is all the rage and really should be….
Try having a 100 mile Thanksgiving Dinner.
What, you might ask, is a 100 mile Thanksgiving?
Well, it’s based on The Hundred Mile Diet: (This website is no longer active….look at Daily Green below)
Eat fish, meat,vegies, fruit…everything that is grown, raised within 100 miles of your home. Less fuel, energy used and thus, a greener planet. Look at The Daily Green for Five different U.S. Region 100 mile Thanksgivings.
