Sorry, Grandma, But your Thanksgiving feast is a Climate change Turkey
Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief at Climate Crisis, highlights the environmental impact of Thanksgiving, noting that the food, air travel and car trips associated with the holiday contribute heavily to CO₂ emissions. Air travel represents 2.5% of global emissions, while cars account for about 10% of U.S. pollution. McIntyre suggests rethinking traditional Thanksgiving activities in favor of eco-friendly alternatives, like biking and simpler meal choices, to reduce environmental harm.
