The Super Bowl is going green and so can you!  Want to green your Super Bowl party but just don't know where to start?  Why not host a green Super Bowl party to celebrate the day and introduce friends, co workers, neighbors, and family to sustainability concepts to go green!
 
Parties are a fun way to spark the green enthusiasm in others.  Looking for ideas?  In our sustainability consulting practice, we offer sustainable suggestions you can use for your eco party as well as everyday living.
 
Eco Actions for a Green Super Bowl:

• When throwing a green Super Bowl party the menu should be eco-friendly. The main objective when setting the menu is to avoid being wasteful.
• When entertaining your guests, use glassware. If that's not an option, extend eco awareness into your party by using compostable plates and utensils.
• Set up convenient recycling bins for glass and paper.
• Serve seasonal foods and offer organic and locally grown food.
• Is BBQ on the menu? Check out Green BBQ tips for BBQ.
• Offer Organic Beer.

 
Why it's good for the environment:
Serving organic food and spirits support sustainable farming practices.  The benefits of serving what you need, reduces waste. The importance of using reusable serving wear can't be underestimated.   Waste is not just created when consumers throw items away. Waste  is generated throughout the life cycle of a product, from extraction of raw materials, to transportation to processing and manufacturing facilities, to manufacture and use. Reusing items or making them with less material decrease waste dramatically. Ultimately, less material will need to be recycled or sent to landfills or waste-combustion facilities.
 
If you want to take your Super Bowl eco actions a step further, you can offset your Super Bowl Sunday and help the environment, by purchasing a “Super Bowl Party Offset” from EarthEra. For $10, they say they will offset 1200 pounds of carbon dioxide. And 100% of their revenues from EarthEra product purchases apparently go to build more solar and wind energy project in the U.S. 
 
Incorporating sustainable choices into your Super Bowl party not only reduces environmental impacts but also demonstrates the ease of living green.
