What is Ecofeminism? Is Ecofeminism Still Relevant?

 Melting glaciers, extinction of insect populations, wildfire, floods. Climate change is upon us whether we accept it or not, and the environmental, economic and social damage in its leaving in its wake is catastrophic. Many regions in the world drown under storm waters while the Earth continues to heat up. Globally, we are well on our way to beat a tipping point that will change our climate for good. It’s easy to lose hope when you see this glance of what's to come. But often that doom and gloom make us start searching for a better way to navigate our connection with the environment and ourselves. Ecofeminism is a possible thought through which to view our current environmental crisis, and it’s important to see what it has to offer as a theoretical framework. So today, we are going to know two questions: What is Ecofeminism?  And is it a useful thought for understanding our current social and environmental circumstances? So first, what is Ecofeminism? Ecofeminism is a term formulate by Francoise d’Eaubonne in 1974. Ecofeminism is much more than just a title, however, it’s a framework that seeks to combine, re-examine, and amplify the environmental and feminist movements. Like other frameworks, especially in the feminist journey, ecofeminism has grown and evolved in the last 40 years since it was formulated. But at its core, ecofeminism seeks to tell the connection between the injustice of women and the demolition of the environment. In essence, a primary challenge within ecofeminism is that women’s liberation is connected with the liberation of the environment from human demolition. And there are two key ways that this crossroad is explored in ecofeminist value hierarchical thinking and oppositional duality. These sound pretty complex so let’s immediately break them down. Value hierarchical thinking is simply the idea that cultures establish certain troops as inherently more valuable than another troop. Oppositional duality is a way of understanding certain cultural and social binaries. For example, in many civilizations, men and women are seen as fundamentally different from each other and actually being opposites. We talk about “opposite genders” all the time. But that idea is itself composed, instead of being a dual, gender exists on a spectrum. In U.S. culture, humans and nature are another conflicting dualism. And in most cases, civilization attitudes place more value on one side of the binary than the other side. Often, this value duality expresses itself in language. For example, nature is defined as feminine in the phrases fertile ground or mother earth, both to be liberated, sown and extracted. While slang phrases for women tend to be animals, like chick and vixen. Ecofeminists seek to look for that this oppositional and hierarchical thinking helps justify the opposition of both women and nature. But ecofeminism has experienced an acute resistance since it rose to conspicuousness in the 1990s, and indeed, it seems to have lost its following as a consequence of this pushback and its lack of use by activists. One of the main critiques of ecofeminism is that it lacks analysis about race, disability, class and more movements like environmental justice. Many ecofeminist critics point out that ecofeminism does not have an interchangeable framework; because ecofeminists tend to focus only on nature and women, they miss the differences that exist between women. As a result, much of ecofeminist analysis tends to neglect most women. A scholar-activist Gwyn Kirk justifies this claim in her explanation of a weekend workshop in 1987 in New York. She writes that the first of the workshop was led by a group of influencers of color talking about environmental racism and community organizing in their neighborhoods, and it was a very lively debate, but Kirk notes that on the second day she was involved in a workshop on ecofeminism. She describes it as “a small, white group that focused on feminists devoutly.” So, when compared to a framework like that of environmental justice, ecofeminism seems inappropriate for many activists and thinkers. Although environmental justice drives are admittedly often less focused on gender, they seem to build stronger affiliation in frontline and marginalized societies because they focus on issues like toxic waste, pollutants, and food issues affecting people in their immediate circumforaneous. 

Ecofeminism, as critics say has lost its relevance in part because it only functions at this high theoretical level that groups women of all identities into one class. In short, critics of Ecofeminism write that it's not a useful thought because it only allows us to look at how nature and gander are connected, and in doing so it, leaves out an analysis of how racism, ableism, classism and other ways of domination are associate with environmental demolition. Ultimately, ecofeminism is a way through which to view and connect the invasion of the environment and women. It can definitely be a useful lens to understand how discrimination and the destruction of the natural world are connected, but it often leaves out another crucial pathway of subjugation, including class and race. But ecofeminism can be more than just a structure, there is a very real case where gender and environment strike in the world. So, for more on a real-world look at the relationship between gender and climate change.

The Environmental Impact of Food Waste and How We Can Stop it

Curries, Beef burgers, Sushi, Pizzas, Cakes, Pastries, Pasta, Platters, and Tortillas all these food items everyone loves to eat have a big impact on the environment. As a community, food is central not only to our existence but also to our cultures. All of us love food. But as much as we have affection for food, we also love to throw it away. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization calculates that almost ⅓ of food produced for consumption never gets eaten globally. And in the United States, that number is even more. 40% of the U.S.’s available food supply gets wasted each year. According to a report, like buying five bags of groceries at the store and then just leaving two of them in the parking slot every time you shop. So today, we are going to look at food waste with three questions: Why is excessive food waste happening? What are its environmental consequences? And how can we fix it? If all the food that is currently getting thrown into the landfill every year was instead averted into meals for those in need, we would feed as many as 1.8 billion people who need food. On top of the list is that food waste has been estimated to be responsible for roughly 8% of global emissions worldwide. If it was a country, China and the United States ranked third for yearly greenhouse gas emissions. So, food waste is one of many problems at the crossroads of social justice and climate action. Its huge emissions footprint comes from all the energy needed to ship, process, and produce the food that ends up in the trash and from the forceful methane fumes that food emits as it decomposes slowly in landfills. But food doesn’t just grow out of the ground and then suddenly end up in the trash, there is a long chain of consumer interactions and businesses that at any point might turn up your perfectly edible food into waste. Simply put, food transforms into trash in two general areas as it travels from farm to plate: Before the point of buying and after the point of buying. The majority of food waste generated in the United States comes after the point of buying, but let’s look at food loss before that on farms and in grocery stores. One of the best ways to market food is through the illusion of profusion. People shop visually, and to most, that last piece of fruit on the shelf was left there because there was something wrong with it, not because it just happened to be the last one. To appear plentiful, grocery stores often overbuy food to tackle people into purchasing more items. So, at the grocery store and farmers' markets, vendors face an uphill battle against the old quote “Pile it high and watch it fly.” They need to create an excess of food to sell their items, but that excess can at times lead to more waste. After the point of buying, the plague of food waste continues. Indeed, household, restaurant, and foodservice waste account for 70% of the United States' annual food waste. As a consumer of food, it’s our reasonability, we have tried hard to minimize our waste, but it can be easy to cook or buy excess that ends up in the compost or trash. For a family of four, household food waste costs $1,700 annually. With the average plate size expanding by 35% since 1960 and refrigerators growing 30% in volume since 1972, it’s fascinating to buy more food just to fill up space. Overbuying, and the certain “cleaning out the refrigerator activity” that comes with it, can also be attributed to buy-one-get-one-free promotions or purchasing in bulk. Our appliances, supermarkets, and even our plates are all pushing us to buy more and more. In addition to overbuying, in the United States, there is also a serious lack of clarity when it comes to dealing with expiry dates and spoiled items. There are no federal laws regulating sell-by or expiry dates. As the consequence, labels can mean basically anything depending on where you purchase your food.

The lack of clear information regarding when a product actually goes bad means that households throw out perfectly edible food well before it expires. In short, there are marketing, labeling, psychological and cultural forces all coming to play to make food waste a major issue in the United States. Ultimately, there are many points by which food becomes waste, whether in your own home or even before it makes it onto a supermarket store shelf. But there is hope. There are many solid solutions to these problems at all levels of the supply chain. At the individual level solutions look like creating a plan to use all the food you buy or giving it to needy people and truly understand when your food has expired and then composting it instead of throwing it in the bin. You can even get involved with people who are voluntary all over the world that recover food from local restaurants, cafes, homes and stores and give it to those in need. On the supply side, solutions look like lowering food demand by eliminating buy one get one free promotion, donating food that’s not fit for marketing, or even using props and boxes to maintain the illusion of profusion without needed excess production. And on a policy level, actions like standardizing expiration dates accurately reflect the science behind food-borne diseases and illnesses. Food waste is an avoidable problem, and addressing food waste means tackling both climate change and hunger in the process. We don’t necessarily need fancy farming technologies to create more food for people who go hungry; we need to work together on every small level to more equitable distribution of resources we already have, and in doing so we not only mitigate climate change but also create healthier communities.

Covid-19, Plastic Pollution and Environment

The global pandemic (Covid-19) presented an opportunity to check on the health of the planet. Initially, there had been hoped that the slowdown in the world economy would be beneficial for the planet. As air traffic completely stopped, ships were stuck in port, and industrial pollution was completely reduced. But this pandemic has had negative consequences for the environment too. Waste piling up, disposable protective equipment, plastic packaging everywhere. The world was already going under a sea of plastic waste, but covid-19 has made the situation even worse: a face mask can stay in the environment for up to 500 years. It takes that long before they change into invisible microplastic. As environmentalists say the plastic trash levels rose by 50 percent in April and more of that trash of plastic come from food containers water bottles cups and disposable packages when the pandemic hit. In this pandemic, the number of online purchases rose by 240 percent. The wider impact of this plastic pollution on the environment is now starting to become apparent.

There are piles of garbage everywhere the problem is that plastic is very light so it easily flies up by the wind and settles down rivers where it ends up in the ocean. The plastic waste problem has gotten worse day by day. When the coronavirus outbreak began everything's got bad before this pandemic, we would start using less disposable plastic packaging but now people are purchasing even more plastic wrapped items because they are scared of getting a viral infection. Disposable single-use masks and gloves that people are now using we're seeing start to appear on our streets in our countryside on our beaches which is a real concern. You know you can't help but see plastic pollution everywhere and inevitably that's single-use throw-away plastics. We see lots of plastic bottles, masks, plastic cotton bud sticks, tissue paper and confectionery wrappers in this coronavirus pandemic. This really had an impact on the use of plastic and the types of plastics we are seeing in our environment now. Disposable plastic gloves are common in markets they are light and easily swept away. The pandemic has led to a waste crisis now even environmentally conscious people feel safer buying plastic-wrapped products. Plastic bags floating everywhere the tiny plastic particles which made plastic bag you can only see under a microscope are even more dangerous. This tiny plastic passes through the food chain through fish and ends up in our bodies too. It seems like this pandemic should serve as a reason for us to generate even more plastic waste. If we damage the environment, we also endanger our own health. We are seeing this now during the coronavirus pandemics we're not thinking ahead not conserving the environment and not treating animals like we should. It’s our responsibility to cut back on single-use plastics but these days due to the pandemic the very opposite is happening it takes some 500 years for these materials to decompose so they will be with us for generations. Some people choosing plastic packaging for their food because they think it's safer to use plastic in this pandemic crisis. But there is a danger that this pandemic is making our day-to-day lives less ecologically sustainable. Restaurants with a lot of customer mesh use more disposables now than they used to directly before the pandemic. But there's of course also another part of the story and that is we saw a lot of changes in patterns of behavior and consumption that actually move towards more sustainability. As we start with food in for example in many countries the consumption of regionally and ecologically produced food has increased during the pandemic best for the environment and for the economy too. We saw lots of changes in mobility patterns less business travel less commuting to work more house office some of those probably will be maintained after the pandemic and of course due to lockdowns which is not a positive thing for the economy and the humans but consumption and production went down and therefore also energy use and raw material use and therefore stress on the environment went down. So overall it's more the opposite that we didn't see patterns change in a way that is environmentally more destructive although disposables are probably one point so that's in terms of individual behavior but globally can we say that this pandemic has been good or bad for the environment. So, we have seen lots of plastic go into our oceans we are seeing a much less resilient ocean so animals and wildlife being impacted habitats and ecosystems being impacted and that makes it less resilient and able to withstand the shocks of climate change so it's all interconnected. The biggest concern is that the plastics industry can sort of getting itself off the hook of the action that we have been working so hard to deliver so the action on plastic bottles or on straws the sort of interventions is legislative at a systems-level that can stop plastic pollution from ending up in our ocean in the first place so our oceans are absorbing millions of tons of plastic every year. We really need a whole new approach to how we are packaging things a whole new approach to a single-use culture. We need to be much more of the reuse, reduce and refill mindset and we need to make sure that the plastics industry is fully accountable for the sort of packaging they are producing and stopping it from ending up in the ocean. It is really important during this global pandemic crisis that where people now have to wear masks, they think reusable rather than single-use when it comes down to masks and of course, instead of wearing gloves the advice should be just washing your hands regularly and we need to curb this throwaway mindset that we have within society. Protecting the environment should be the priority but experts worry the pandemic and its economic impact may push environmental pollution issues off the agenda.

Importance of Planting Trees for Environment

 One of the most important elements for the environment is tree planting. It is impossible to think of an environment without trees, so it is essential to consider the trees transplanting for landscaping, land reclamation of the forest.

Most importantly, trees plantation helps reduce the ozone levels trees take in carbon, thereby removing carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases from the air thus the earth remains cool. During the process of photosynthesis, plants produce oxygen using water, light, and carbon dioxide and animal used this process fuel as food.

Planting three trees strategically around a single home cuts air conditioning needs in summer up to 50 percent so trees conserve energy. Brind down the energy demand for cooling houses, we decrease carbon dioxide and emission pollution from power plants.

Trees are necessary as they provide us with enough oxygen, without which we cannot live. In fact, we need trees right from the food we eat that helps us to live to the medicine that is given to heal a disease. This also includes furniture we use in office and home for comfort and dress we wore and also the vehicles and cars that help running our life smooth. Considering all these precious benefits of trees, at the end of the day tree plantation cannot be ignored.

Planting trees as per the essential requirement and demand of the environment is known as tree plantation.  At least 25% of each country must have woody and plant areas that help to keep in balance with the environment. In fact, many countries do not have the essential wood area and this is not desirable. Thus, realizing the necessity and the actual need of trees for the environment, it is obligatory that everyone is conscious of the importance of tree plantation. 

In tree plantation week everyone should promise to plant at least one tree as a benefaction to the environment that is always granting you something or the other in one form or the other. Tree plantation along with roadside and near your home in the open spaces or in fields is recommended. However, to make sure a healthy environment, the second action to be taken is to stop deforestation, besides they should authorize tree plantation as it maintains balance in the environment and makes sure we live in a better place. Thus, there is a healthy need for everyone to come forward and to look at tree plantation that is best for all.

Trees are helping the environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate betterment, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife habitat. In the process of photosynthesis, trees take carbon dioxide in and yield the oxygen that we breathe. 

Tree plantation and environment

By the few simple steps, we can help save trees include:

Using paper carefully, thus saving trees from getting cut down for paper manufacturing.

Borrow, share and donate books, so that you don’t go for a new one.

Visit the forestry area to know the value and importance of trees in the environment.

And also learn new concepts and ideas to deal with trash, thus to save the environment tree plantation is a must.

Tips for Zero-Waste lifestyle

 I have always liked the philosophy that we have not inherited this planet from our ancestors we're only borrowing it from future generations so we wanted to make sure that our impact was sustainable for our future and our kid's future as well. This article is for beginners who are looking to urge into the zero-waste lifestyle, and it’s for anyone who wants to be more conscious of their ecological footprint. Anyone can start using this now, and you will truly make an impact on the environment. Here are different ways to live with less waste. First, it's important to know the 5 R's of waste management: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot, in that order. We shall start with refuse. Refusing is the first rule to live a zero-waste lifestyle. Think before accepting any shuffle into your home. Reduce junk mail, party favors, freebies and any other junk that will most likely go into the trash. Each year, Americans discard 100 billion plastic grocery bags which take about a thousand years to break down. Instead of using plastic bags and creating more demand for them, use reusable cloth bags or even no bag, whenever possible for you. I used to think it was mandatory to use plastic bags for your grocery, but recently I discovered you can just use your own bag or even no bag, which is even good because why bring home extra plastic? You could also bring your own glass jars to grocery stores to avoid bringing home any unnecessary plastic containers. I really like when grocery stores sell things in bulk so that it’s really easy to do some zero-waste shopping. You can either weigh your jars at the front in advance or bring an additional of the same jar so you can weigh it at checkout. Next, rather than using a one-time disposable plastic straw, you can either say no to the straw completely or use a steel and acrylic straw instead. I personally like to drink my drinks and juices with a straw, so I have a steel straw for that specific purpose. Instead of using a plastic cling cover in your kitchen to freeze your food and leftovers, switch to use reusable and sustainable food wrap. These are all-natural, organic, and compostable. I believe they are produced out of beeswax, and these wraps actually do a really good job at keeping your food fresh and healthy, even better than plastic wraps. Instead of purchasing disposable plastic water bottles, go for a reusable water bottle that you can fill up again and again. Steel and glass are probably the best choices for your water bottle. So, if you have them already, reuse what you can, if you discard your plastic bottle and buy a new one, this will put pressure on the environment for producing more items. Do your best to avoid using disposable kitchenware, whenever you go to a picnic, you can bring silverware from home or use portable utensils made out of bamboo or stainless steel.

Over 4.7 billion toothbrushes that are made of plastic will never biodegrade and are dumped in landfills and oceans each year. So, you can just switch out your plastic toothbrush for a sustainable bamboo toothbrush. Considering all the plastic toothbrushes that you use in one lifetime. And imagine avoiding that plastic waste completely, just by switching to something biodegradable and compostable. I am a huge tea lover and I have always opted to choose loose tea leaves or tea powder instead of tea bags as they always contain plastic lining which makes it wasteful and makes sure to use a steel strainer instead of the plastic ones as plastic isn't good to use with anything hot. I love the environment but I also love skincare and makeup and my favorite thing is to swap in my skincare routine instead of using cotton pads and makeup wipes I use a face scrubber. I use it with my oil cleanser which does an amazing job of exfoliating and breaking up all of my makeup and sunscreen. It is also super easy to clean and it is antimicrobial so you don’t need to worry about it getting dirty and greasy. I also use it with my regular facial cleanser which feels amazing like little hands deep cleaning your skin and this product is great because it's 100 recycle able so I totally recommend switching to something like this instead of single-use products Lastly, reduce the amount of paper you bring into your house by switching to paperless whenever possible. Do this with your mail, your notes, your books and bills. I personally love reading eBooks on my iPad, but I know some people love traditional books, so just do whatever works well for you. I hope you people liked these ideas on how to live with less waste. I just want to remind you though: Just take it one step at a time. Just don't be so hard on yourself. It's a journey. All the things that matter is that you're becoming conscious of the environment, more aware of the environment and you're doing your best for the environment. Everyone's journey is different. I'm not perfect and I'm totally not zero waste yet. But I think the first step is awareness about your environment. And then after that, you'll start to reduce your waste little by little. So, let's create a non-judgmental, warming space where we can just open up the discussion around reducing our waste. And let's not judge others who are not aware of this lifestyle. The best thing you can do is just be a living example of what you want to see in the world, and let your actions speak louder than your words. It all begins with awareness and let this awareness flow into your actions, and then others will see what you're doing and then they will be inspired to follow along. Alright, that's it! we can do it all as a community to reduce our waste and a better planet will leave behind for our future generations.

The Link Between Global Warming and Climate Change

 Global warming is a climatological phenomenon in which the global temperature is rising because of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Reasonably hot Sun sends us a mixture of various rays which is composed of 10% of UV, 40% of visible light and 50% of infrared when the incoming solar radiation arrives at the surface of the atmosphere it is directly reflected towards space by clouds and the various layers of the atmosphere the remainder of this incoming energy is absorbed by the various components of our planet such as atmosphere, earth surface and ocean surface, etc. Since the Earth's surface is colder than the Sun it radiates heat back to the atmosphere in the form of infrared energy and most of the emitted infrared radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and warms the atmosphere also gains heat and radiates energy upwards and downwards. The downward radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and the upward radiation is reflected in space. As we know, our earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases that contains roughly 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 0.97% argon 0.04% carbon dioxide trace amounts of other gases are water vapor nitrogen and oxygen that form most of the atmosphere. They do not absorb the infrared radiation so they do not contribute to warming the earth but the greenhouse gas molecules mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor absorbed the sun's radiation as infrared some goes back into outer space and most of the energy towards the Earth's surface. The greenhouse gases warm up the atmosphere and also the Earth's surface which is called the greenhouse effect in this way the earth maintains a stable average temperature. Without these greenhouse gases, surface temperatures would be cooler and many life forms would freeze thanks to this natural greenhouse gases because it keeps our average temperature is comfortable. When the concentrations of greenhouse gases increase, the temperature of the atmosphere also increases, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface because too many greenhouse gases trap more and more radiations that cannot escape to space. As a result, radiations remain in our Earth’s atmosphere which causes the earth to warm up. So, the higher concentrations of greenhouse gas responsible for global warming contributors of the greenhouse gases both nature and human activities. Human activities are the main contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases like volcanic eruption, power plant plants industry, ocean transportation, forest fire deforestation, live stocks commercial and residential appliances.

Global Warming 

Impacts of global warming lead to long-term and devastating impacts for the natural environment ecosystems and human societies such as drought, flood storm, ice melting, etc. Effects on the ocean and climate change as temperatures rise glaciers melt faster than they accumulate new snow when these ice sheets and glaciers melt the water flows into the oceans and sea-level rise. The rise of sea level causes destructive erosion flooding of wetlands aquifer and agricultural soil contamination with salt otherwise rising water level helps to evaporate more water vapors from the warm ocean surface. So, the hurricane or cyclone get the energy for winds from these warm water vapor and leads to higher wind speeds in the hurricane or cyclone nevertheless when carbon dioxide enters the ocean it combines with seawater to produce carbonic acid which increases the acidity of the water lowering its pH this is called ocean acidification. The rising temperatures coupled with ocean acidification affect marine species and ecosystems warmer water temperatures in the ocean result in coral bleaching when water is too warm corals will expel the algae living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white affects on wild animals and birds. Face new challenges for survival because of global warming due to drought-induced starvation many wildlife animals shift their places for searching food and water birds also migrate to move from an area to another area for their resources polar bears are starving because of melting sea ice they need sea ice to hunt seals as their main source of food. Effects on human health: human health is at risk because of global warming rising temperatures in the tropics allow mosquitoes to thrive causing the spread of diseases like dengue fever, malaria. Heatwaves caused people to die of dehydration or heatstroke. Solution of global warming are renewable energies like wind power, solar energy hydropower has the potential to reduce global warming decrease the emission of carbon dioxide from industrial sectors turned to reduce global warming. Planting more trees can play a significant role by reducing carbon dioxide from the air and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere to avoid the use and emissions of CFCs or HFCS and a variety of climate-friendly energy efficient safe and proven alternatives need to use.

How To Host an Eco-Friendly Party in this Pandemic

All of us love celebrating parties that are typically made of disposable, one-time-use plastic items. All decoration is designed for quick and easy clean-up, especially when hosting large parties, such as disposable plates and cups, straws, balloons, etc.

Everyone likes throwing parties that put friends and families together for some quality time. However, there are some environmentally friendly choices to throw parties that lessen the impact on the environment.

Planning for your guest' enjoyment will place a lot of pressure on the environment and create a lot of waste. In this article, we can learn how to reduce the amount of waste you produce by making some adjustments. It's a perfect way to raise environmental consciousness and inspire others. A few ideas to consider; aim to produce as little waste as possible, reuse, reduce and recycle wherever possible.

The first step is an invitation, go for the paperless invitation. A super convenient method is a phone call email or message directly to your guest list. One of the efficient ways of inviting your guests.

The next step is the use of biodegradable tableware - Cutlery, glass, bowls, plastic cups and straws. It's one of the most dangerous leftovers, and none of it can be recycled or composted. Using an eco-friendly product is a perfect way to have a sustainable green party. Using plates and glass made from plant-based materials like bamboo pulp and sugarcane is one of the best options.

Another step is responsible cooking - Food preparation for a large number of people will also result in a lot of waste. Be sure to plan the meal first and then buy those items you'll need for the cooking. Have a few meals rather than an elaborate spread, whether you're cooking at home or buying food from the market. Always keep in mind that many people that are conscious about the environment follow a vegetarian diet while you make the menu. At least one dish should be free of the meal. Make a lot of Vegan dishes with a lot of flavors that will please all of your guests. Inform your guests that you are planning an eco-friendly party and your aim of reducing waste to the very minimum.

When we think about reusable decor - Balloons, plastic bubbles, and other popular party decorations come to mind. These are all single-use items that are often made from plastic and increase the trash. This year, you can go green by using natural decor ideas to decorate your party and home and give your party a classic new look.  Fabric buntings, candles, terracotta lights, greenery and other decorations could also be used. Fruits, dried leaves, and new flowers create lovely table centerpieces. DIY, such as upcycling old jars, cans and bottles and making table pieces with flowers from your backyard. Candles and string lights are a wonderful way to brighten up your home while still eliminating the utilization of unhealthy air fresheners. The use of eco-friendly home items is a wonderful way to encourage your guests for an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Avoiding gift wraps you are faced with a bulk of lovely, gleaming trash that can't be reused. It gets far more eco-friendly when it comes to gift wrapping ideas; you can pack your gifts in newspaper or brown paper. Another alternative option you have is to presents in cloth bags, which can be reused.

Opting for local drinks: When it comes to drinks, a little prep and smart shopping will assist you to reduce the environmental effects. You should use local and seasonal fruit ingredients when serving cocktails. If you are going to serve soda, aluminum cans are the best choice because they are easier to recycle than plastic cups or glass. You will also serve water to your visitors in old wine or beverage glass bottles.

Since not everybody is as environmentally conscious as you are, it is important that you simply educate your visitors on the day of your party about how they can help you accomplish your goal of arranging a green celebration. Inform the guests about biodegradable wet and dry waste, as well as paper and plastic waste, are separated in the bins. Additionally, the use of eco-friendly bags is another effective way. This keeps them involved within the group and helps them realize the importance of their participation in the party.

Parking spot is also a challenge for visitors, you should allow the visitors to arrive at the venue using more friendly means of transportation, such as taking public transportation or carpooling. As a result, they reduce the amount of fuel used bringing you closer to your green party target.

If you are going to host a party in this pandemic, you need to do it outdoor and in a spacious place. Mark six feet distance. And everyone should wear a mask remembering wearing a mask not only protects you but also protects your loved one from the virus. And remember the major cause of covid-19 is private parties. It is very important to remember that proper mask-wearing, hand hygiene and 6 feet physical distancing remain the best precautions against infection. Nobody wants to infect their family so it's everybody duty to follow all the SOP.
