Earth Day Party Ideas

I got the idea of posting an article on Eco-Friendly Earth Day Party Ideas from my sister. A couple years ago she went to an Earth Hour Concert. Thinking about it now I realize how ironic that idea was. How can you have a concert on Earth Hour? Concerts use so much electricity. The amount of power used for lighting, instruments, sound is probably enough to run power to all homes in Quebec for a year. (These numbers are not ac, but you get the point) After thinking about it, I decided that you should be able to have parties, yet help the environment at the same time.

Spa Party 

Spa parties are a great way to relax and spent time with your close friends, while not doing anything. It's also an easy way to have fun and be eco-friendly.

• Have an at home-spa
• Make your own spa products like face masks, scrubs, and lotions at home using eco-friendly materials. (article on that coming soon)
• Fill containers with a small amount of  cold water and reuse that water whenever possible
• Use the smallest amount of towels possible what way you wanted have to use a ton of water washing them
• When washing the towels use cold water and air dry
• Enjoy organic foods
• Use non-toxic nail polish: like Piggy Paint, Honeybee Gardens watercolour non-peel off polish, or Spa Ritual (all of these polish cost around that same price as OPI)
• Recycle and properly dispose of all products used

Dance Party

Dance parties are so much fun yet so energy consuming.

• Turn off most of the lights and the ones that remain on use compact fluorescent light bulbs or use LED (low-energy lights) Christmas lights
• If you are using your laptop to play the music unplug it once in a while when it is fully charged
• Serve water 
• Serve organic snacks

Brunch

Brunch parties are delicious and very gossip girl. It can be very easy to have a green brunch.

• Turn off the lights and use natural lighting
• sit outside and enjoy the scenery, don't forget to pick up your garage.
• Don't make to much food, you don't what to waste it
• Use organic foods
• Have vegetarian and vegan options.
