VEGAN THANKSGIVING FEAST (how to have a zero-waste Thanksgiving/holiday season)

Happy Friendsgiving!! But, even if you don’t celebrate, don’t let that deter you from watching and still learning how to have a vegan thanksgiving feast/vegan holiday feast as well as a low waste thanksgiving/low waste holiday celebration in general. You can use these recipes/tips for Christmas, New Years, birthdays, Easter, whatever holiday/party you celebrate!

AND! Let's not forget the real reason we celebrate this season, be thankful for our families, and celebrate all people :)
