An Eco-Friendly Easter Guide
Easter: The More Meaningful Way
Easter is around the corner and it’s time for a lot of fun and celebrations. When you talk about Easter the first thing that comes to your mind is colorful dyed eggs, however there is so much more that can be done with just celebrating Easter this way. No better way to start practicing sustainability methods than when Easter is around. During Easter days it’s all about celebrating, there are some common practices and strict rituals that to celebrate people follow, and the celebrations are not unplanned, random. However, the mess that is created sometimes when it comes to decorating and the disruption of resources that occurs to do so can badly impact the environment in the long run such as cause pollution.
Easter Beyond Eggs
A greener Easter, a concept very unheard of, celebrates Easter sustainably, a way that will certainly make it stand out from the amongst the ordinary celebrations. When Easter is around you just want to forget about following any rules and go out of your mind with celebrations, but if you try out greener ways of celebrating it you will realize that they are even better than without being kind to the planet. Every year plastic eggs are painted in abundance that only end up in dumps afterwards leading to trash accumulation and other environment related hazards. Instead turn to plastic-free, wooden or metal eggs that are very less prone to damage and readily available in the market during Easter days.
Colorful World of Easter Eggs
Nothing tops the idea of chocolate eggs that are not only pleasant on the eyes but even taste delicious, keeping controlled how much are taken in would be nice though. Painting thousands of eggs is a joyous activity for anyone and what brings even more pleasure is when you get to see them all placed together looking stunning. A metal egg with silver glitters on it would be the star of the show amongst all other painted eggs, since any thing sparkly attracts the eyes more than if subtle or matte.
Easter Done More Wisely
It is very prevalent that every year on Easter, eggs are set up in baskets, turning to baskets made of reusable material would even make them multipurpose and could be used even afterwards for many different aspects. Easter is a time of the year for celebrations and families to come together, more attention should be directed to the true essence of celebrating it instead of focusing on the problems associated with poor quality decorations that adversely affect the ecosystem.
Bring Out the Artist in You with Easter DIYs
Going shopping to buy Easter decorations sounds like an easy option but it is not very economic friendly, DIY can serve as a better solution for this where you not only get to bring out the creativity in you but make sure that unlike ready-made products you focus more on creating sustainably designed ones that have in them incorporated natural, biodegradable items like flowers. This way you will not only be saving money but will also be ensuring environment friendly practices at the same time. Who knew that behind an occasion as simple as Easter there is so much in-depth knowledge and goes a lot of Psychology? Though it is only for the progress of mankind.
Heal Your Soul with Easter Meals
No special occasion is complete without having warm, nourishing meals, though it is also the time when you get so excited that you overeat, to eat as much as you want it would be better to turn to greens instead of carbs, with a salad you can go on eating a lot but if done, the same way with carbs it would end up in disaster. To prepare a meal on Easter day that your friends would love cook with veggies that are in season, this way you will be helping the farmers market too. This Easter, instead of those cheesy pastas turn to simple soups that are not only satisfying but even fulfilling.
Climb Heights of Personal Empowerment
There is a unique concept that has to do with Easter called ‘Spiritual sustainability’, there are many who every year when Easter is around fast for around forty days in search of internal peace and strength putting aside during those days the overly worldly matters they are consumed in. When you consume less it leads to reduced waste, therefore causing sustainability, an idea that fasting during Easter days aims to promote. This idea clashes with that of real life where it is encouraged to chase more and more and gather materials, most of which are not even needed. How this fasting brings about sustainability is that it limits over-consumption and allows you to practice mindfulness and dig deep into realizing what is actually required and what is not preventing you from spending wastefully in any way.
