Week 3: I resolve to make my next party eco-friendly to conserve resources and promote sustainability to my friends and family.
Date: 20-Jan-09
Australians love to throw a good party. Whether it's a simple BBQ with family, or crowds of people celebrating into the night, the summer months provide the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends.
Amidst all the frivolity however, caring for our planet can sometimes take a back seat. It's easy though, to make your next party (whether celebrating Australia Day, a birthday or just a chance to get together) fun for the environment too.
Visit FestiveRecycling.PlanetArk.org to download your free copy of Planet Ark's Festive Season Green Guide for great tips on how to throw a sustainable party and make sure your festivities don't cost the earth. To help your party guests sort the recycling from the rubbish, you can also download and display our festive signage - there are signs for garbage, recycling and corks.
Online eco-stores like Biome supply earth-friendly compostable plates and bowls too - so you can still avoid the washing up without filling up your bin with throwaway plastic.
Commitment Statement
I will make my next party an eco-friendly one!
