​Organizing a holiday party for your office? Here are a few quick tips to keep it green:

• Decorate with items that can be reused.
• Set up tables with reusable tablecloths or place mats.
• Use cloth napkins, durable plates, and glassware or encourage your coworkers to bring their own.
• Have cloth dish towels on hand to clean up spills instead of paper towels. 
• Avoid food and beverages packaged in single servings.
• Include healthy, plant-based food options.

• Cooking for a potluck? Use recipes that will make good leftovers or that can be repurposed into a new meal. 
• Encourage everyone to bring containers to take leftovers home.
• Collect food scraps for composting. Learn more about food waste collection options here.
