Easter is upon us, and it's another holiday that finds me fighting old habits. The kids do not need baskets of corn syrup sweetened candy sitting in a bed of artificial plastic grass. This year I have changed my ways (a little).
I'm reusing last year's baskets, and last year's plastic eggs. The kids think they have to leave them out for the Easter Bunny to use. There will be candy, but it will be minimal. There are art projects, sunglasses, and outside games in the baskets. And the "grass" is biodegradable. I found it at Safeway!
I also have to share my favorite CA Green Solutions/Green Irene (http://www.cagreensolutions.com) recycling tip--all the foil that candy is wrapped in is RECYCLABLE! Hersey's kisses for everyone!
Minimal trash, minimal sugar, and smiles all around. Happy Easter!

Hi Janine!
ReplyDeleteLast night I found gummi bunnies at Trader Joes w/o HFCS and flavored with fruit juice. Not vegan, but they are yummy. :-)
