We love the useful tips for a safe holiday kitchen from Senior Vice President for Research at the Environmental Working Group, Jane Houlihan: Choose foods low in added chemicals and pollutants; use non-toxic cookware; store and reheat leftovers safely. And we've added a few more tips of our own that we think will make your holidays a whole lot healthier, and yummier.

As the modern world stands, both glass and plastic have a place, and unfortunately are taking up too much space (in landfills and in our oceans). We would be remiss to not acknowledge that both substances have awesome uses crossing many fields from the everyday to the medical. We must also note that we have abused and overused both. But, here at OA we can't help but cheer for glass in the battle of the containers. While it will never be so easy as to say, "glass, good" and "plastic, evil," we do have a few good reasons why we can't stand the latter in all its ubiquity, and prefer the former in all its clunky glory. 

Thanksgiving is not about stuffing your face and unbuttoning your pants to allow your stomach that extra inch of space. Nor is it about wasting oodles of food, paper products and energy. Shocking, I know. The renowned holiday is really about being thankful for what you have, family and good food prepared with care -- and consciousness.

Windows are a whole lot more than just something to look through. They bring in that endorphin-inducing natural light, those simple combinations of glass and wood act as portals to the outside world, and when pulled open, windows can filter refreshing breezes into a stuffy house.

Windows create the perfect semi-transparant separation between you and the outside world. You know you savor that delicious feeling on a dreary day of watching raindrops slide down a window's glass while you snuggle up all warm inside. They create an inviting, cozy home.

Keep those fuzzy feelings around all the time by incorporating (even more!) windows into your home’s décor. Check out these five extremely un-pane-ful ideas to window-ize your decorating.

How many times have you made a quick stop by the grocery store for a couple of simple items like milk and bread, only to wander out in a daze almost an hour later with an entire basketful of random items, junk food and 2-for-1 deals?

Perhaps you walked in with a mission and a list, only to be dazzled and delighted by the delicious smells in the bakery, shiny towers of fruits and vegetables, free samples of tasty dishes and the incredible deals – well, at least they looked like deals. But supermarkets are employing a wide variety of psychological tricks to encourage you to buy more than you need, which not even the most astute shopper can resist. 

We uphold various Thanksgiving holiday traditions every year, from sweet pies and hearty meals to that annual brisk walk taken after the big feast. This year, how about we start a new tradition? It's simple -- pick a nonprofit that celebrates women's leadership or encourages sustainability, and take part in a little holiday charitable giving. The following nonprofits encourage women to obtain and sustain independence, and draw awareness to other important causes (sustainability and health) that affect women around the world.

Truth: Warm mittens, heat preserving gloves and wooly hats are fun to buy. But, these wintery items are knitable, too. Now, you (like me) may be a bit skeptical about knitting your own winter wear, but worry not; learning how to knit is not as difficult as you think. Sure, it may be hard to grasp at first, but what isn't? Get inspired, buy some vibrant eco-friendly yarn, and join a local knitting circle -- start practicing sustainable knitting know!

Holiday cheer, holiday schmear. Do those now empty flowerpots that once burst with happy spring blooms make you feel like an all-around Grinch, even before it’s Thanksgiving? Don’t let those sad-looking containers on your porch, deck or balcony sit barren all winter. Repurpose them into cute decorating vessels for your home—inside and out. These five creativity-inspiring ideas will get you going.
