Alexandria, VA – As the winter holidays arrive in Alexandria, let’s embrace a green celebration season! Here’s how:

Eco-Friendly Feasts

Start by sourcing seasonal, local produce at Alexandria farmers markets—think brussels sprouts, root vegetables, and winter greens from nearby farms. This reduces transport emissions of fruit and vegetable carbon output. Fresher flavors yield nutrient-rich dishes like roasted parsnips or kale salads, supporting local economies and biodiversity.

Ditch disposables for zero-waste feasts. Opt for cloth napkins, reusable plates, and beeswax wraps. Compost scraps into stock—bones and peels become hearty broth. Send leftovers home in guests’ jars; freeze extras for post-holiday soups.
