Green Tip - This Thanksgiving

The Palisadian-Post has partnered with locally founded environmental organization Resilient Palisades to deliver a “green tip” to our readers in each newspaper. This edition’s tip was written by Sara G. Marti, Resilient Palisades board member and communications director.

This Thanksgiving, our community is gathering around tables forever changed.

And yet, look at what we have done together.

Neighbors showed up. Volunteers became leaders. Grief became fuel. We learned how to take care of each other and how to take care of the land that holds us.

Today’s Green Tip is simple, but profound: Honor this year by choosing one regenerative act.

Plant something native because the land we love is still healing. Every plant you add is a promise to those waiting to return.

Support a neighbor who is still finding their way because community grows through consistent, quiet acts of kindness.

Swap a gas appliance for electric because safer homes and cleaner air are not abstract ideals. They are choices we make one device, one circuit, one family at a time.

Leave a little less waste behind because everything we discard eventually touches the soil, water and future our children will depend on.

Restore one small corner of the world you touch because restoration always begins at the scale of a single backyard, a single habit, a single moment of care.

These gestures matter. They are how we begin healing the place we love and the place that has shaped us.

To everyone who kept showing up in ways seen and unseen, thank you.

Thank you for being Resilient, Palisades.
