Celebrate!

No matter what the occasion, use one or all of these ideas to make your next function eco-friendly.



  • Host the party at your local park, beach, or own backyard. When all your guests arrive have a scavenger hunt, scavenge for trash and recyclables. Hand out prizes for most trash collected and most recyclables collected. You can even hide a few prizes in the area to make it interesting.

  • Serve all your goodies with recycling in mind. Compostable plates and cups, bottles and cans, bins labeled and available.

  • Like to make party favors? Try a worm composting tower. It was fun to make, and the petunias we planted with ours are vivacious and thriving.

  • Cut down on the electricity. Bring along some acoustic guitars, bongos, tambourines, harmonicas, whatever you can scrounge up. Got nerves of steel? Let the kids release their inner rock stars on real instruments.

  • While on that scavenger hunt pick some flowers, pretty branches, and leaves. Create one of a kind cards to use later.

  • Spread the love. Hand out small packets of sunflower or tomato seeds as party paraphernalia.

Have a great time celebrating life. Creating eco-friendly lifestyle changes help to keep the world healthier and in turn us all healthier, which means more celebrating to come.
