1. Reduce pollution from carbon emissions.
The best thing is that your first option is to share at home or at least near it, otherwise if you have to move around the city, try to share a car with your loved ones.
2. Avoid wasting food.
Before buying and preparing the foods that you will share, think about the number of people and the portion that each of them can eat. On this day, people tend to overeat, and this can generate digestive problems, take your time, enjoy the food and appreciate them.
3. Say yes to local products.
Supports local and organic ingredients. Get closer to the nearest local market, you will surely find products of good quality and a better taste.
4. Use biodegradable disposables.
To be more friendly with our environment, it is advisable not to use disposables, think about the tons of plastic garbage that each household can generate. Especially during the Holidays! However, if it is inevitable that you use them, we recommend you to choose less harmful options, such as compostable ones made from recycled paper or sugarcane. These disposables are 100% ecological and biodegradable, are made of organic matter that decomposes and reintegrates the soil. Also, we suggest you change the paper napkins, for the cloth napkins.
5. An appropriate non-toxic cleaning.
Finally, you can do it yourself or request a service so that your home is clean and ready to receive your friends and family. Remember the use of non-toxic cleaning products, which will make your house look like new, as well as without unpleasant chemical odors.
