Sustainlane provides us with ten great tips to make your birthday party more eco-friendly. This includes reusable decorations, utensils, and using cloth instead of paper wherever possible. It’s a great way to teach kids about recycling. You may even give out eco-friendly birthday party favors!
Written by Planetpals:
- Have a recycle and trash plan such as pre-designated bins. Mark BINS clearly for easy use by using Planetpals FREE Recycle Sign
- Use reusable party items instead of disposable paper or plastic dishware and utensils
- If you are using plastic disposables, encourage people to reuse their cups and plates instead of getting new ones. (As a new idea, why not give everyone a cup with a unique image or their name on it, and encourage them to re-use it all day and take it home as a souvenir !)
- Use paper items instead of plastics and styrofoam which are not biodegradable.
- Consider cloth napkins or colorful bandanas instead of paper napkins!
- Give reusable water bottles as a favor and encourage people to fill them
- Buy large quantity containers instead of distributing drinks in small bottles and cans…
- Have an end of party clean up plan in place and encourage the kids to take part in clean up so they can learn for the future
- Recycle your party decorations by using them for your next party or trade with a friend
- Give away eco friendly favors and gifts!
