Don’t let your party be rubbish- say no to single use plastics

Having a function without single use plastic can seem daunting, but with a couple of simple changes your next party can be a hit for your guests and the environment! 

Balloons burst into the shape of jellyfish. When they land in the ocean, they are mistaken for food by turtles. Save our marine life and use reusable decorations like fabric bunting or flowers instead of disposable decorations like balloons and plastic banners. Ditch the plastic lolly bags and party favours for fabric bags jam packed with reusable gifts like coloured pencils. Serve your party food and drink on reusable plates, bowls, cups and cutlery. If you’re worried about the washing up, a good alternative can be biodegradable bamboo items which can be added to your compost. Remove plastic bottles from your party and have a drink dispenser, jugs and cups. A reusable drink dispenser filled with a fruit infused drink can make a beautiful addition to any party table! Remember to go without straws and sip from your reusable cups!

Go on, swap this for that and make reusable alternatives part of your life/daily routine.
