Posted on by

Normally you would only think about place cards when planning a seating chart. However you would never really consider them as favors. An interesting new option is plantable place cards. plantableseedsThese seating cards are biodegradable and when a guest plants them in their garden, they will produce a variety of plants from the seeds hidden inside of them. These are great for a green and eco-friendly option for a bride who does not want to waste paper and since they are customizable, they can be a great way to promote a favorite ecofriendly or green organization. Asking for promotional gear from your favorite charity is a great option for the bride looking to save money on favors while championing their favorite causes. You can make an agreement to promote the charity if they can provide the necessary items either for free or a reduced cause. Charities are always looking for ways to promote themselves. If you are really behind one take the opportunity to use your wedding.

If you live near a national park see if you can use such images as a template for the designs for your candles. Whatever items you use make sure they are recyclable or biodegradable.

So take into account how “green” your wedding favors are this fall.

Tips for being more eco-friendly this fall

Posted on by

Putting on an extra layer of clothing can mean that you take a little longer to turn the heat on, or that you leave the heat on at a lower thermostat temperature. Every tiny bit that you can avoid cranking the heat saves you fuel usage, which isn’t just good for the planet, it’s also good for your pocketbook.ecofriendly-this-fall

 

Eating what’s in season instead of supporting fuel-wasting and non-environmentally friendly importations of non-seasonal produce can have a huge impact on the planet. Agriculture is one of the most planet-destroying activities around in its current scale.

Before winter hits, take time in the fall to check your window, door, basement and attic insulation. The more you can keep heat inside of your house and cold outside of your house, the less you’ll need to rely on your heating unit. Check off all of the places your home should be insulated to make sure everything is in check!

Fall is one of the best seasons of the year, but it also can be the start of some non-eco-friendly habits. Take a moment to check yourself before fall is in full swing and make environmentally conscious autumn decisions

A handbag or a tote can add lots of charm to the otherwise plain dressing style. Apart from being stylish and trendy, a handbag should be functional to meet the daily needs of a woman. Picking up the right colored tote is also important. Though printed bags are trendy, it is better to carry a single colored tote or handbag in case you are wearing a colorful and flashy costume. trendy-bagsYou can even add a few handbags that go well with the change of seasons.

Jute Bags for Composting

Posted on by

Biodegradable leaf collecting sacks made of jute are especially used for composting and are perfect for those who are environmentally conscious and want to recycle nature. Rake the leaves, place in the bags, made of totally recyclable, decomposing material called jute, pile them in a corner of the yard or better yet the garden to be used as soil enhancement next season. leaf_sack03These sacks are hassle free, no double work of collecting then piling, only to have them blow away. Put the leaves in the large jute sacks and take them where you want extra soil nutrients for next growing season. The sacks degrade at the same rate as the leaves letting the leaves stay right where you put them, not scattered about by the wind, dogs, vermin or other critters. These bags or sacks as they are called are great for someone who is environmentally conscious but doesn’t want to maintain garden composters full time or even if you do not have enough space to keep garden composting bins you can still save space in the landfill and fertilize your lawn or garden and at the same time follow codes for inside city limits.
