Green Easter
Hello, fellow ecowarriors! We are so glad you’ve stopped by our page! We’d love to share some our favorite “green Easter” tips! We’ve put on our thinking caps (accompanied by a set of bunny ears, of course) to bring you some great ideas!
1. Write the Easter Bunny a note or ask your parents to. Ask the Bunny to please, please, please reuse his plastic easter eggs and grass (paper grass can be reused too). Also, We’d love it if he could use the same baskets for us that he used last year. If he doesn’t still have the basket, ask if he could please drop his goodies in a cute reusable grocery or canvas bag. Canvas bags are great and can be used for fun art projects later! :)
2. Here is a great link for eco friendly egg coloring: http://www.celebrategreen.net/blog/easter/eco-easter-eggs-to-dye-for
3. If you enjoy hard boiled eggs for Easter, please consider saving the shells and including them in your compost pile! Also, take this opportunity to try free-range, cage-free eggs if you haven’t already. Those chickens will thank you.
4. Remember to recycle plastic candy wrappers, whenever possible. Some wrappers can but cut up and used in art collages, too.
5. And the top, most important Green Easter tip ever: Never, ever, give a bunny (or any pet, for that matter) as a gift. A pet should not be given at holidays for various reasons. Also, ownership of a pet takes a lot of preparation and discussion. Should you desire a pet bunny around Easter time, give a photo of a bunny and then go as a family and make a responsible choice, based on your family and the bunny’s personality. Here’s another great link to learn more about bunnies and their care. http://family.go.com/parenting/article-ip-506149-bringing-home-the-easter-bunny–rabbits-as-pets-t/
Thanks for stopping by our blog!! Happy Hopping to you, our Kitterbug friends!!
