Can you have fun and be environment-friendly? Yes, and here’s
how. Go with a green theme for your next dinner party.
Invitations – In this age of the social media such as
Facebook, consider going informal. Invite guests via electronic
invitation instead of printed cards.
Green food – Choose local, seasonal food with a vegetarian
emphasis. Go with bean dips and wholegrain dishes with fresh
fruits and vegetables. If serving meats, choose organic, grass-fed
beef and free range, organic poultry.
Beverages – Forget bottled or canned drinks. Serve refreshing
smoothies made from fresh fruits in reusable cups and mugs.
Decorations – Get creative with your decorations! Seasonal
fruits and vegetables will make lovely centre-pieces and
decorations. Try placing wheatgrass in a pot on your table
surface for an all natural touch.
Compost – Don’t toss the leftovers! If your menu is
vegetarian, leftovers can be composted. Ask your guests to put
their veggie and fruit scraps into a designated bin.
