Substitute Tofu Pups and Garden Burgers for hot dogs and hamburgers
Raising livestock uses an incredible amount of energy and releases tons of methane into the air. This year, try serving soy dogs and burgers instead of meat – they’re better for the environment and for your health. And a lot of times, people can’t even tell the difference!
Cost: $3-4 a box on average

Cost: negative (you’ll actually save money)
Stop hack the program!!!
