Sustainable ways to pass your Thanksgiving weekend

Though we're in the throes of Thanksgiving day (and hopefully you're enjoying a vegan feast), most people have a full 4-day weekend to enjoy.  If you're in the Phoenix area, here are 2 great things to do that also celebrate sustainable living and the environment.


On Saturday at 7pm, the Museum of Science and Sustainability is having an Eco Fashion Show.  It will take place at Bragg's Pie Factory and will feature live music, a dance performance, live auction and fashion showcases.  There will also be vintage resellers for all your sustainable clothing needs.  MOSS is a great institution to support - they don't yet have a main center but are working on raising the needed funds.  Their mission is to bring a much-needed focus on sustainability to the Valley.  


If you haven't seen them yet, don't miss David Rogers' Big Bugs at Desert Botanical Gardens.  These giant sculptures of bugs made of fallen and found wood and other natural materials.  Some of the bugs are as tall as 25 feet.  A fascinating look at the bug world surrounded by the beauty of the desert.  Your kids or those you have visiting this weekend will be mesmerized.  


If you've eaten a vegan feast today and will be enjoying the leftovers this weekend, you won't have that nasty, "I feel sick because I ate too much" feeling, and you'll have the energy to go out and experience these events.  I wish you all a most enjoyable weekend.
