Happy Earth Week!

Today’s Green Tip: Celebrate in Style, the green way!

There’s nothing better than bringing the ones you love dearly together for a fun celebration, special meal, or simply to spend time together.

Keeping your gatherings green does not mean you need to compromise on quality, decor, or ease. It’s quite the opposite!

For the meal, look for locally sourced, organic ingredients and stay away from animal products. If you are purchasing a prepared meal, look for local businesses that uses locally sourced organic ingredients.

Serve the food and drinks in reusable dishes and glasses, as well as silverware. If you are concerned about loads of dishes you’ll have to do later, look for biodegradable varieties of plates, napkins and silverware. And if using straws, grab the paper ones. 

Decorate with natural elements such as fresh flowers, bowls of fresh fruit, and paper decor. Think fresh and beautiful.

Avoid balloons at all costs however, as they pose a serious threat to wildlife. 

After the party, save the leftover water from your guests’ water glasses and water the plants around the house. 

What is your favorite way to entertain? Let me know in the comments!

Much love,
