Five Tips for a Sustainable Super Bowl Party

Celebrate the Super Bowl the Green Way

Want to host a Super Bowl party this Sunday?  Before inviting friends, setting out snacks, and turning on the game- read several tips for how to host a sustainable, green Super Bowl party everyone can enjoy:

Send green(er) invites: Still in the process of inviting friends and family over to watch the Super Bowl?  This year, try sending invitations via email or even through Facebook event/ message.  This will save paper, stamps, and time- all valuable resources.

Create a green environment: A great way to promote green initiatives during the Super Bowl is to create a green environment inside the home.  Instead of using paper or disposable plates, cups, napkins, etc. for food, use permanent silverware and items that can be washed and used again.

Encourage carpooling: Are multiple guests arriving from the same or nearby locations?  Encourage your guests to consolidate travel and carpool together to save on gas.  If possible, also encourage guests to access public transportation to attend the party, such as a nearby Metro stop or bus route.

Remember to recycle and re-use: At the party, set out visible and labeled recycling and waste containers.  After the party, remember to sort out the plastic, aluminum, and paper products that are left behind to ensure that the appropriate products are recycled.

Sort and save: Save food leftovers after the Super Bowl party to eat at a later date.  Even better, encourage guests to bring containers to be able to take food home after the party.  If applicable, remember to utilize certain food scraps for compost.

Have a safe and fun weekend!
