Once I noticed it, it was hard to ignore. And since I’m always looking for ways to reduce my carbon footprint (like eating less meat and always using a reusable shopping bag), I looked into ways to celebrate the holiday more sustainably. Google reports that over the last five years, searches for “how to be more environmentally friendly” have peaked around Thanksgiving and Christmas each year, which suggests others are looking for ways to make their holiday celebrations more earth-friendly too. If you haven’t considered this before, not to worry—the best time to start is always now. As you start to plan your Easter brunch and family Easter egg hunts, consider making a few of these easy swaps. Test Kitchen Tip: Keep in mind that eggs shouldn’t be out of the fridge for more than two hours if you plan to eat them. Plan your Easter egg hunt accordingly.
