When entering this new year, it is time to think about many different changes we can make in our business. One of them is to be a little greener this year. When thinking about all the office parties you’ll have for holidays, birthdays, promotions, retirements and more, think about all the waste they generate. Here are a few suggestions for throwing a greener office party.

• Look around your office and see what you already have that you can use for decorations.
• Use decorative plants as center pieces, these also can go home with guests at the end of the party.
• Use biodegradable cups and plates.
• The use of recyclable wrapping paper, if not destroyed during the un-wrapping, it can also be used more then once.
• When it comes time for the clean-up, use green materials, use cloths/rags that can be washed and re-used rather then paper towel.

Remember, enjoy the party, have fun and let the party serve it’s purpose, but try to be a little more cautious this year and eco-friendly in terms of all the waste that you can cut down on.
