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.

Why did two people have to write this?
Because they each only have half a brain?
Cook it in aluminum foil on top of your car engine, while doing tasks.
I can’t imagine that - one of the best parts of Thanksgiving dinner is the leftovers - most even better the next day!
We make leftover turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches, and the kids like leftovers in burritos.
Every bit of it gets used - several relatives fight over the turkey carcass and bones b/c they want to make turkey soup. Any leftover turkey after all that goes to the dogs.
The atheists 3rd most important holiday to spoil.
…” all of the food insecure people in the U.S.,”
…last “food insecure” person I saw was about 350 and she was whining about her EBT card not working
my uber liberal town used to have “Meatless Mondays” to combat “climate change”....i celebrated BBQing ribs every Monday...
Leftovers? What leftovers? Give me and mine a week and the only sign there was Thanksgiving at all is the scorch marks on the plates caused by the sparks from the silverware.
AP is the leading propagandist for the climate BS. Relentless and motivated. They will never give up the con. Never.
What they really mean to say is that YOU are harming the planet, and they want you dead.
Bingo!
You have to have at least two witches for a proper coven.
They hate that you are feasting in celebration of gratitude to some ethereal being that they think is superstitious. They hate that you are able to obtain such massive quantities of food for such an occasion without having a ration card.
Well they are part of the problem then. Are they posers or serious about solving the human problem?
Oh for Pete's sake. WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT UP!
Two idiotic, entitled, privileged Karen AWFULS.
Right to my mind, turkey hash and potato pancakes the next day is better than the “big” meals - and you can cull the guest list to folks you really like, as opposed to “obligated to invite”
Has Daddy Warbucks Georgie Soros decided to pay his fogi actors as boycotters and rioters of Indiginous Day leftovers? Blocking traffic with a lump of stuffing.
LOL. I love it. The Thanksgiving tradition of the AP or some other MSM organization telling us how ashamed Americans should be for over-indulging at Thanksgiving and ruining the planet. The tradition goes back at least as far as the 1980s, when the Washington Post wrote an article that Americans really needed to think about having a Vegetarian Thanksgiving to save the planet and be healthier. Around mid-November, I imagine some young, Woke WaPo reporter calling her friends at the National Food Emergency Defense Resource Council or some other liberal, Socialist NGO to get some quotes for the “Fat, Capitalist Americans are not only embarrassing, but they are destroying the planet” article.
