Let’s face it – kids parties aren’t normally the greenest of environments, even if you do replace the e-numbers for raisins!
I was really pleased to discover that there’s a growing range of ethical party companies.
Ethical Junction member Ethical Party Bags has a good range of bags, fillers and filled party bags. I particularly like the bags made from recycled juice cartons by a project in the Phillipines. Prices from £2.25.
Little Cherry
not only carry party bags (prices from £2.80) but have a great range of ethical party ware including biodegradable cutlery made from starch! (GM free of course!)
Perhaps the best way to beat the party bag problem is to hold a “make party” where the little ones make their own take home present – Bishybarnybees (Norfolk speak for ladybirds!) provide resources for themed craft parties (Pirate Party anyone?) as well as their Really Green Party items recommended by the Green Parent Guide.
If your little ones need a sweet treat then try Earth Mother Party Bags for fab organic sweets and lollypops as well as fairtrade chocolate. Party bag filler sets start from £2.60.
