  • With millions of pounds of food headed into trash cans across the country, Thanksgiving is one of the biggest days for food waste. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), over the 2019 Thanksgiving holiday in the US, “six million turkeys—a value of roughly $293 million—ended up in the trash.” Producing that much discarded turkey “requires an estimated more than 100 billion gallons of water (enough to supply New York City for 100 days). And when it comes to climate pollution, it wastes emissions equivalent to driving a car across the country 800,000 times.” Food is often cut off from oxygen when it's piled up in a landfill. As a result, as it breaks down it releases methane, one of the strongest greenhouse gases. There's so much food releasing methane in landfills around the world, the total emissions impact is more than that of any individual country, except the U.S. and China. This year can be different. Here's a step-by-step guide to minimizing your turkey day trash.
