(NC)—The holiday party season doesn’t have to be strenuous for you or the environment. Add a “green” theme to your party to liven things up and do your part. Here are six ways to turn your next holiday event into a “greeny” good time.

1. Serve organic drinks and foods. Offer organic fruits, vegetables, organic wines and mains (store-bought organic BBQ chicken is a quick and easy option). For dessert, organic chocolate is always a hit. Keep an eye on shopping websites like The Scarlett Lounge at RedFlagDeals.com (scarlett.redflagdeals.com) for green and organic deals, too.

2. Make your bathroom/kitchen organic-ready. Put out organic soaps and hand lotion; replace old towels with organic cotton towels, and buy biodegradable bathroom tissue and paper towels.

3. Play green-inspired holiday games. Have a “re-gifting” Secret Santa for a hilarious time.

4. Get everyone to wear green. It’s the holidays after all.  And while it won’t do anything for the environment, it will get everyone into the theme. Bonus points if it’s organic fabric.

5. Make sure your holiday decorations are environmentally friendly – LED lights, a Christmas tree you can replant after the holidays, organic centrepieces, and more will make a lasting impression on guests but not on the environment.

6. Offer your guests eco-friendly favours. Everyone can use an extra energy-efficient light-bulb or perhaps for a more personal touch, soy candles – perfect for the holidays. – News Canada
