Eco Friendly Super Bowl Party




The Super Bowl is here and whether you like football or not, you will most likely be watching it (if not just for the commercials). Super Bowl Sunday is a great excuse to get together with friends and just have a good time! Want to make your Super Bowl Party a little more eco friendly this year? Well here are 4 easy tips to help you out.

1. Food: When possible purchase organic and local food to serve. Make your own salsa and/or guac using ingredients from your local farmers market or shop. If you are serving meat look for local or organic meat.

2. Silverware: Use your own! Forget about the disposable plastic ware and simply use your own. If you don't have enough for everyone, ask a few friends to bring their own. Cloth napkins are also a must

3. Beer: Do you have a local brewery in your town? Start there! Grab a growler or 6 pack of beer that was brewed right in your own town. If you do not have a local brewery, try and find one that is the closest or look for an organic brand sold at your local liquor store.

4. Cleaning up: Ask your guests to put their waste in the proper places. Recycle or compost as many items as you can.

If we all follow these 4 simple rules, we can sure make a difference in reducing our carbon footprint this Super Bowl season! Enjoy!
