2014 Graduation Season is Here!


 

If you are planning a graduation party for your special high school or college graduate; make environmentally friendly choices in your preparations.

Eco-friendly invitations…

Send e-cards, Facebook messages or text messages to get the word out.  Of course, close relatives should receive a formal announcement with the graduate’s picture. 

Setting the stage green-style…

Repurpose containers you already have in the home to use as centerpieces, or visit a local thrift shop for centerpiece ideas!  If you love confetti—get it in biodegradable form. Avoid vinyl or plastic tablecloths instead, cover tables in cloth tablecloths. 

Green your tableware…

Plastic silverware, plates an cups are so NOT biodegradable!!  They take up space in landfills for centuries and off-gas toxins into the environment.  Please consider these options instead:

--Rent all tableware from a local rental company. 

--Purchase compostable tableware @ Eco Party Time

 
Anyone hungry? What to serve…

Whether you are doing simple finger foods/snacks or planning a meal, look for organic and or local produce.  When purchasing locally grown foods you are reducing carbon footprints & benefiting your local economy!

If you definitely do not want to spend your time preparing the food, have it catered by a local business that uses locally grown and or organic foods.

 

What’s a Graduation Party without the presents?

Avoid purchasing a gift just for a gift’s sake.  Make sure it is a necessary purchase that will be useful for the graduate.  You know that none of us needs “more stuff”.  So be sure it’s a gift that counts! 

You have probably heard of the expression, “Cash is King”.  Well, it is always a good gift to give, but if you want to put a little more effort into the gift, consider a gift basket with Brightly Green All Natural Laundry Care products! Brightly Green All Natural Products are 100% biodegradable, sustainable and non-toxic Can't get greener than that!  If you know the graduate plans to have his/her own pad; then a variety of Brightly Green All Natural Cleaning Products would be perfect.  Brightly Green All Natural Cleaners also has gift cards available!


wish all 2014 Graduates success in their future endeavors!
