Launch Fourth of July celebrations with a bang by saying no to profligate picnicking. Instead, demonstrate your patriotism and your eco-savviness by using earth-friendly picnicware. Here’s why we think this is such a good idea:

 

Save Cash, Reduce Trash: Choose recycled. By dispensing with disposables, you’ll be able to afford that extra bucket of fried chicken. Plus, you’ll be helping to lighten the landfill’s load. 

 

Expend With Abandon: Prefer disposables? Try cutlery made from vegetable starch, and plates made of sugar cane fiber. These are just a few of the options in biodegradeable picnicware. It’s sure to spark conversation, and you can throw it all in the compost pile afterward.

Spare The Forest: Guess how many trees it takes to supply each U.S. household with one 40-count package of conventional paper plates? A whopping 487,000. Save the trees by switching to one of our alternatives below.

Support Fair Wages: Feel good about supporting fair-trade picnic suppliers, who pay their workers a living wage.
