A major highlight of Thanksgiving is the menu, but the big meal can come with a lot of wasted food. Experts say a pinch of extra planning can ensure more gets eaten.
Roughly 320 million pounds (145 million kilograms) of food will be wasted at Thanksgiving this year, according to ReFED, a nonprofit that tracks food waste. ReFED says that’s largely because people prepare more food than is needed for the meal and then don’t finish the leftovers.
“That is essentially like five meals each for all of the food insecure people in the U.S.,” said Yvette Cabrera, food waste director at Natural Resources Defense Council.
It’s also a problem because most of that waste ends up in landfills, where it releases the potent planet-warming gas methane, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. But a lot of those emissions are avoidable.
Here are some tips for a climate-smarter Thanksgiving meal without ditching tradition.

Fill in the blank below. Put in anything you want, as long as it’s related to humans. Combing your hair. Doing crossword puzzles. Whatever.
Then submit it to the AP. They’ll print it.
__________ is harming the planet.
Yeah, they look like the kind of people who cook their own meals. /s
Give some actual examples of Global Warming, Pravda.
They feel the strong need to put a damper on Thanksgiving, don’t they?
Some people can’t resist making a political statement, can they?
I remember a number of years ago when Obama was still president, they distributed talking points about the joys of Obamacare, to discuss at Thanksgiving dinner with your ignorant relatives.
You can bet these “writers” went to ChatGPT and entered.
“Write an article to make people who enjoy Thanksgiving dinner feel guilty. Incorporate climate change into the story.”
they are a threat to my husbands waistline!
We finish our leftovers.
We NEVER, EVER “threw out” Thanksgiving leftovers. The bird stayed in the fridge, and you snacked by picking at it. If you were lucky, there was still some “in the bird” stuffing. The mashed potatoes are a little worse for the wear, but nothing that gravy cannot save. Repeat for sweet potatoes, substituting butter for gravy. The only thing that might not go quickly would be the canned cranberry sauce. That would go okay with reheated mashed potatoes and gravy.

Every emission from AP harms the planet. Two writers can harm it that much more.
[[Your Thanksgiving leftovers are harming the planet.]]
One thing you can always count on is the fact that somewhere some perpetually outraged liberal will try to ruin the celebrations of an entire planet if they can get away with it-
somewhere someplace some unhinged liberal has the mads and isn’t happy unless they are making everyone around them miserable
Each one wrote every other word. Kinda’ like the ubiquitous talking head male/female tag team doing tv news TV shows...
My advice to the reporters, if you want to fix food waste,DO SOMETHING, don’t just write.
Kill yourself, save the planet.
