This holiday season, celebrate by giving back to the environment! We have put together a quick guide on how to host a zero waste holiday dinner party. If you have any additional suggestions, leave them in the comments section so we can help each other, help the Earth!
Here's How to Host a Zero Waste Holiday Dinner Party:
Food
Use lots of vegetables and carbs and minimal animal products, if any at all since vegetarian and vegan options are always preferred for an extra eco-friendly event!
If you want to reduce food waste, serve small to medium-sized portions and allow your guests to ask for seconds if they're still hungry
Make sure to have containers for leftovers and invite your friends to bring a takeaway container from home if you plan on sending home leftovers
Host a potluck-style dinner party where everyone contributes something to the dinner
Table Setting
Use real cutlery, bowls, plates, and cups
Invest in a set of cloth napkins you can wash and reuse instead of paper napkins
Placemats or a washable table cloth are also great plastic-free options
Decorations
Use decorations or items you already have at home first (e.g. small plants, candles, leaves, fresh flowers, etc.)
Grab fresh flowers from a local Farmers Market
