When you were a kid, every birthday you feel symbolic— and parents often feel the same way. Unfortunately, like most celebrations, what naturally accompanies a birthday party is a fair amount of waste.
The average American produces 5 pounds of garbage per day, or 35 pounds each week. This number increases during the holiday season when parties, gifts and decorations are the focus.
please do not worry. I am not advising you to forget your child’s big day. Simply make small movements with the Earth in mind. Best place to start? Take a look at the birthday party favors you have chosen.
Kids Birthday Party Favors and Sustainability
One of the fun things about parties is sending little attendees home with trinkets (or bags of trinkets). Unfortunately, go-tos like candy, stickers, balloons, and plastic toys tend to end up in areas that contribute to landfills.
With a little thought, children’s party favors can easily be reimagined as sweet (sometimes literally) items to commemorate the day that are actually useful, healthy, and fun.
