NEWS: It's Party Time

I am having a Birthday party on Sunday (am 34 this friday - gulp!) for friends and family and am expecting a good turnout but we realised that we need to figure out a green way to serve food...

Should we get paper plates on the basis that they are probably recyclable? What about glasses? Plastic are obviously a no no.

Should we go out and buy a load of cheap reusable plates and glasses and keep them for the future parties we will doubtless have?

What should we do? My gut tells me just to buy a ton of regular reusable plates and glasses.

Best suggestion will win a prize, I promise.

Thoughts?

Namaste

Al

Thanks to you both...sheesh...this is a toughie methinks.

So far I think due to the apparent lack of paper plates not coated in plastic as far as I can tell I am edging towards the reusables.

Will not make the decision until later in the week though...

Namaste to you both...

I saw some compostable bamboo plates a while ago, more expensive than paper plates, but they look robust enough to use a few times before being composted. There were also bamboo knives and forks and cups that were compostable.

Have a terrific party Al, being 34 is so much fun!
