How to have an Eco - Easter

Many cultures celebrate the coming of spring and the renewal of life at Easter. It is a vibrant time of year for nature, so by being mindful of our environmental impact, we can enjoy the festivities while caring for our planet.

Disposable items

One way to be sustainable during Easter is to reduce the number of disposable items we use for our easter dinners or parties. You could encourage your friends and family to bring their own reusable cups and bottles, reducing the amount of plastic waste generated. Additionally, you can use natural decorations such as flowers or paper decorations instead of buying plastic ones that may only get a few uses and will end up in landfills. 

Easter eggs

Another way to be sustainable is to choose eco-friendly Easter eggs. Traditional Easter eggs that can be filled with treats are often made of plastic. Instead, you can use biodegradable or compostable eggs or create your own Easter eggs using natural materials like paper mache. This is a fun activity to do with children as they can decorate their own eggs, and later if you decide to do an easter egg hunt, the children will be even more excited that they had a hand in making it! 

Food

When it comes to Easter meals, choose locally sourced, organic food and beverages where possible. By supporting local farmers and businesses, you're not only reducing your carbon footprint but also helping to promote sustainable agriculture practices. Additionally, consider reducing meat consumption and incorporating more plant-based meals into your Easter celebrations. 

Easter service

Finally, if you're attending an Easter event or service, consider walking, biking, or using public transportation instead of driving. By reducing your carbon emissions through transport, you're helping reduce your environmental impact dramatically.

Being sustainable during Easter is a great way to celebrate the holiday while caring for the planet. By reducing waste, choosing eco-friendly Easter eggs and choosing locally sourced food and beverages, you can enjoy the festivities while also reducing your carbon emissions.
