Newsletter from EWG: Jane's Holiday Kitchen

Dear Readers,

Whether you're dressing the turkey or just filling up a bowl of chips, chances are you're going to spend a lot of time in the kitchen this holiday season. So will we.

Jane Houlihan, EWG's Senior Vice President for Research and the visionary behind our popular cosmetics database Skin Deep, is the person EWG staffers go to for tips on greening those special holiday meals. Whether it's for smart tips on storing leftovers or food choices that are better for your health and the environment, Jane's our go-to this time of year. Her tips are sure to make it a bit easier for you to shop for healthier foods and stock your holiday kitchen, so that you can truly enjoy peace of mind in this season of joy.

As a busy mother, Jane has lots of ways to green her holiday celebrations -- and now she's letting us in on how she does it. Make your holiday kitchen safer and healthier. It's easy!

Click here to read Jane's Holiday Kitchen Tips and learn how easy it is to create a healthy and environmentally friendly kitchen for the holidays.

Kitchens are places of warmth and cheer where friends and family gather to chat and cook. Why not make yours a little safer and healthier -- especially for those little ones baking cookies and "helping" you cook? Jane has come up with lots of ways to green her holiday celebrations -- and she's sharing it all with us.

Check out Jane's Holiday Kitchen Tips -- your guests will thank you and your family, too! You'll learn how (and why) to:

1. Choose food low in added chemicals and pollutants.
2. Use non-toxic cookware.
3. Store and reheat leftovers safely.

Getting into the holiday spirit is more fun when you know you're serving up food that's better for your friends and family -- and the environment.

We hope Jane's tips will make it easier for you to enjoy a healthier, greener holiday season.

Happy Holidays!
