Eco-Friendly ideas

Springtime is atime of rebirth and regeneration for nature, butit canalsobea timeofunnecessary waste during the Easter holiday. Luckily, going green doesn’t mean cancelling theegg huntorreplacing chocolate with carrot sticks. Checkoutthese tipsforecofriendly Eastercelebrations that everyone will love.

Cut out plastic eggs

Usingplasticeggs canbeextremely wasteful,especially when you’re purchasing new eggs eachyear. Instead,try biodegradable goody bags, a compostable Easter egg option, wooden eggs, or try wool felted eggs. Ifyou must use plastic eggs,store themin a safe place so you can reuse them each year.

Gift an experiencerather than an object

Easter baskets are often stuffed to thebrim with new toys, candy, and chocolate. Rather than teaching your childrena cultureofmaterialism, offer agift thatyou canshare and experience together instead ofa toythey’ll forget aboutbyMay. Consideratrip to the zoo tosee the new baby animals, a visit to a park to see the seasons change in nature,ora cookingclassusing fresh, natural ingredients.

Second-hand Easter egg basket

Rather than purchasinga new, plastic Easter basket, consider shopping at your local thrift store or second-hand shop instead.

They’ll have plenty of rustic options, and you’ll be preventing more waste. You can also get creativeand makeyour own, using colorful ceramicware, buckets, oreven umbrellas and rain boots.

Try naturaldyes forEaster eggs

One ofthe mostbeloved celebrations for Easteris dying eggs. However, many storebought dyes are full of chemicals that canrun into natural waterways and pollute freshwater ecosystems. Try natural dyes from fruits, vegetables, andspices youfind inyour kitchen. Touse naturalingredients, boil 1 quart of water with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and simmer withthe ingredients for 30 minutes. Then, cool and strain the dye and let soak for at least 30 minutes. Use red cabbage in water for a vibrant blue, try red onions for a jade green, grape juicemakes a great lavender, and paprika creates a pink-red.

Organic or fair-trade

chocolate

Easter traditions often include chocolates and other bunnyshapedtreats. Ifyou optfor chocolate inyour Easterbasket, considerpurchasing chocolate thatis locallyproduced tosupport yourlocal chocolatiers. These options arereadilyavailable atyourlocal grocer.
