Shake in the New Year!

Posted by NG Kids in Green Scene on December 25, 2009

New Year’s Eve is fun, but don’t be an environmental party pooper when you celebrate. All those disposable party plates, napkins, and decorations go straight from your overflowing trash can into landfills. so celebrate the New Year and the planet by throwing an Earth-friendly party. Then ring in 2010 with a recycled noisemaker you can create using items around your home.

    That’s a great idea. For Christmas, I took materials from the gifts I got(tissue paper, wrapping paper,exc.) and made a really nice centerpiece for my table and now I’m giving it as a gift to my grandma. I even used cardboard and spare candles.
