Earth Day Family: Host an Earth Dinner for Earth Day
Hopefully, you'll get out and get to do some earth-friendly activities in your community on Earth Day, this coming April 22nd, whether it be helping to clean up a part of your town, or going to a festival. Well, here's a neat idea for celebrating Earth Day, once the day's festivities are done. Host an Earth Dinner, whether at your home or with a group in your community. The Earth Dinner website, by Organic Valley, has tons of ideas:
- Try to serve foods that are locally-produced, fresh and organic.
- Go potluck and let everyone join in the fun of bringing a dish.
- Let the decor reflect the spirit of the day, flowers, greens, natural textures. A seasonal centerpiece.
- For party favors, decorate mini-pots of various herb starters from your local nursery. Another favor idea is one or two wildflower seed packets tied together with ribbon.
- Got kiddies in attendance? Here are some ideas to help make the party more fun for them.
What about entertainment? While I'm sure just being with your family and friends will be fun enough, how about starting some earthy conversation with the Earth Dinner cards. The Earth Dinner cards are designed to spark conversation about memories regarding food and people and "inspire new thinking." You can buy the whole set of cards for ten dollars or just use the free download of eight cards that would probably be enough to get the conversation rolling.More for parents
