Tips for choosing environmentally-friendly goods for hosting your guests.

How do host a room full of friends and family in your home without creating a lot of waste? Here are a few ideas:

 

What does biodegradable mean? Dishware and cups made from biodegradable or compostable material are designed to break down safely in the environment. But if they end up in the trash and not a  composter, they take a long time to break down in a landfill.

 

China, flatware & linen:

Using your own plates and utensils will cut down on waste. You could ask friends and family to bring their favorite place setting and see what a colorful table you create.

 

Cloth tablecloth:

Provide a plain cloth tablecloth and fabric crayons; guests can create a custom tribute to the growing family. Or, choose a fabric that can become curtains or other materials for the nursery.

 

Disposables: 

You can purchase disposable dishware made from recycled content to reduce resource use. Some items made from bamboo, potato or other compostable materials can be re-used several times before composting.

 

Choose bleach & dye-free:

Napkins, plates and other paper products made without dye or chlorine bleach are easier on the environment.
