It&#8217;s a great way to raise awareness and encourage others to do the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) <\/strong>Instead of balloons, plastic banners and plastic streamers, decorate your party space with homemade items &#8211; such as tissue paper, pom-poms, signs made of scrap-fabric letters, and <strong>scrap-paper or fabric bunting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) <\/strong>Ditch the glitter! To add fun flashes of colour to your celebrations, use a hole-puncher to cut out <strong>colourful paper circles<\/strong>, instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) <\/strong>If it&#8217;s your birthday and you&#8217;re expecting presents, <strong>consider asking your family and friends for plastic-free gifts<\/strong> like homemade treats, donations to your favourite charity, print-at-home gift vouchers, or tickets to something you could do together! Perhaps a concert or a game of ten pin bowling?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><br><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Let&#8217;s get this plastic-free party started!<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BakingHand.jpg\" alt=\"Baking a cake\" class=\"wp-image-27537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BakingHand.jpg 450w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BakingHand-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Making treats instead of buying them from the shop can cut down on some serious waste!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) <\/strong>When you throw your <strong>eco-friendly party<\/strong>, serve the food on <strong>ceramic plates<\/strong>, use <strong>metal utensils<\/strong> and pour drinks in washable cups instead of using anything plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) <\/strong>Offer <strong>finger food<\/strong> like veggies, slices of cheese, cakes and sandwiches &#8212; no plates necessary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) <\/strong>Put <strong>chopped fruit into a large container<\/strong> of ice-cold water for a fancy, plastic-free beverage.
