Reduce and Help the Environment

Reducing is one of the green living mantras because of its importance. Landfills are filling up quickly and our resources are being consumed. Soon we will need another planet to live on. When we reduce we decrease consumption of energy, conserve water, pollute the air in our community and impact our health. Reducing decreases the pace of global warming and improves our environment.

Why to Reduce in Celebrations?

Reduce while planning a celebration is important because it slows global warming . A party involves invitations, gifts and generates trash! The choices you take will either increase or decrease your Party Carbon Foot print.

When planning a conventional party you will be using paper invitation cards, they don't just cost money but also their production requires trees will be cut, water will be used, and energy will consumed. The whole process by itself will pollute. And normally, the invitations will end in a trash can that gets dumped into a landfill. In contrast when you plan an Eco-Friendly Party™ for every ton of paper we save:

Planning a conventional party will involve gifts and some of them could be gifts that we do not need or want; when we buy gifts that we don't need they will turn into trash around the house or end in a landfill. In contrast planning an Eco-Friendly Party™ gives you the opportunity to reduce in different ways. Getting only meaningful gifts by creating a wish list, asking for cash gifts or supporting a meaningful cause by asking your guest to donate towards a symbolic gift is much more beneficial to the environment.

Finally, parties produce a large amount trash! After the fun is over the remains can damage the environment and be wasteful. In America an 86% of party waste will end up in a landfill. Recycling in a party can help to decrease this sad reality.
