Sprout has spoken

A Morning Announcement
A: I can hardly wait for Thanksgiving! Mmmm – the turkey, the mashed potatoes, my grandma’s pies… I’m hungry already!
B: Sounds yummie! But don’t forget to be green during the holidays!
A: Green? Green in the face?
B: No, not in your face, in your ACTIONS! Think of how the poor pilgrims were starving! And these days almost one third of all the food produced in the US goes into the garbage. More than 31 billion dollars worth of food end up in landfills each year! Some 49 million people could be fed from all that wasted food.
A: Oh, now I get it! We should be green by not wasting our food. We should take what we need and eat what’s on our plate.
B: Right on! Isn’t that what your mother always says anyways?! Not wasting and sharing what you have makes Thanksgiving green!
A+B: GO GREEN!
