Tips to Have an Eco-Friendly Easter

85% of Americans plan to celebrate
Easter, resulting in more than
$18 billion in spending. That means a lot of plastic eggs and fake plastic grass. Here are some tips to celebrate the holiday while ditching the plastic. Paper and wooden eggs are reusable and can be painted with your family the day before the holiday. Eco Eggs made from recycled plastic are also available at select retailers. Instead of a cheap plastic basket, choose a sturdy basket that will last for years. Baskets with replaceable liners are also available, so you can swap out the pattern in a few years. Instead of plastic toys, stuff the basket with other eco-friendly options. Some alternative ideas include puzzle pieces, magnets, marbles and plant seeds.
