It is important to be conscious of the environment and to raise awareness amongst friends and family to be more environmentally friendly. This Party is packed with great ways to make your next get-together truly green. Encourage your guests to walk, ride their bike, or carpool to the party!
The Food: Serve any of your favorite foods, making sure to buy and use only sustainable ingredients.
The Drinks: Do not use disposable cups; serve options like punch (see Cocktails section) to avoid excess garbage. If guests choose to drink beer, recycle cans and bottles.
The Décor: Go with the green theme all the way: decorate with green items and set out clearly marked, Decorative Recycling Bins.
The Fun: Have each guest bring one usable item that they no longer need for a gift-exchange; instruct them to wrap it like a gift. You could also have each guest bring one Garbage Bag Full of old, but usable clothing or other items that you will take to donate to your Local Homeless Shelter. Recycle, reduce, reuse!
In honor of day 2 of “Global Youth Service Day” I thought it would be appropriate to come up with a “green” party. Afterall, we can do our part to recycle and be environmentally aware and still have fun! :-) It is extremely important to be conscious of the environment and to raise awareness amongst friends and family. Even encouraging one person to recycle can make a difference. This party is packed with great ways to make your next get-together truly green. Encourage your guests to walk, ride their bike, or carpool to the party!

Party Tip: Use local and/or organic ingredients where possible. Also remember to concentrate your cooking on what vegetables are in season and what meats and/or fish are the freshest and hormone free. This will ensure a delicious and appropriate meal for this or any party.
