How to Plan an Eco-Friendly Outdoor Picnic: Forget the Throwaway Items and Bring the Love for the Earth Organizing a picnic outside?
Let's "Pack This Meal" with sustainable options that honor Mother Earth before you go for those throwaway plates and plastic forks.
Here's how to plan a tasty and environmentally friendly picnic:
Place, Place, Sustainability:
Pick a Location with Eco-Values: Seek for parks that include picnic spaces and trash cans for recycling and composting. Or what about a "restaurant city" that is dedicated to sustainability in your community?
Honor the Limits of Nature: Don't disturb wildlife, step on fragile plants, or leave any signs of your picnic in the area.
Eco-Friendly Tableware: Bring It With You, Take It With You!
A Picnicker's best friend is reusable: Pack sturdy reusable dishes, cups, silverware, and napkins instead of throwaway ones. "Pack This Meal" provides a range of fashionable and useful reusable containers that are ideal for outdoor excursions.
Compostable if necessary: Choose biodegradable dinnerware made from sugarcane, bamboo, or palm leaves if reusable is not a possibility. To be sure, look for the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) accreditation.
Local, fresh, and waste-free food and beverages
Pack Wisely: Reduce the use of those annoying "plastic containers" and plastic wrap by using those reusable "Pack This Meal" containers for salads, sandwiches, and snacks.
Embrace Local Flavors: Selecting food and beverages from local "food warehouses" lowers transportation emissions from "food service" and helps "local food distributors." It's also much more yummy!
Reject Single-Serve: Get rid of pre-packaged food and individual condiment sachets. Use "restaurant bulk stores" to pack your own to cut down on waste.
Drinking Water Without Plastic:
Encourage everyone to carry their own reusable water bottle by promoting the BYO policy. It's a small change that has a big effect.
Bulk Beverages: If you want a greater quantity, think about purchasing a couple large bottles of homemade iced tea or lemonade or a reusable water dispenser.
Just positive vibes, no trace:
Pack It In, Pack It Out: Even if there are trash cans available, always carry trash bags and take all of your rubbish with you. Set a positive example for other people.
Composting Properly: Make sure you dispose of any biodegradable dinnerware you used at a facility that is specifically meant for composting.
Leave it in a better state than when you arrived: Even if it isn't yours, pick up any stray litter you come across.
