I'm not a green expert but I do try to live responsibly, to reduce, reuse and recycle when possible. In celebration of Earth Day, I have 5 simple ideas for greening your parties so that whatever your shade of green, you can try to live responsibly too!
1. Serve filtered or tap water in a recycled wine bottle or vintage water pitcher.
2. Limit meat and prepare more seasonal, local and organic plant-based recipes.
3. Use your own plates, flatware and stemware or alternately, borrow from a friend/neighbor, recycle thrift store items or rent from your local rental company.
4. Decorate the dinner table or food buffet with a bowl of fresh fruit, an arrangement of fresh herbs or bell pepper votives.
5. Clean Green! After the party, clean up with non-toxic, biodegradable, environmentally safer household cleaning products.
