Earth Day Dinners
posted by Rachel Cole
Celebrating Earth Day typically involves cleaning up a neighborhood park, planting a tree, or, if you're more creative, maybe taking yourself on a shopping spree for fashionable reusable shopping bags. How about marking the holiday this year with an Earth Dinner? Marking Earth Day with an Earth Dinner is a wonderful way of acknowledging the role our food choices have on the health of the planet.
Need inspiration? We found some great ideas, tips, recipes, and resources on the Earth Dinner website. The inspiring (and affordable) Earth Dinner Cards recently provided us with an evening of wonderful conversation over a locally-sourced meal. Bounce around the site a bit for more inspiration.
Earth Dinners are a great way of raising awareness and exploring complex issues without having to get on your soapbox. Instead, food and fun party activities set the table for a delicious meal with the potential for real and meaningful exchanges about eating sustainably.

If you host an Earth Day Dinner, but don't want to be left with a kitchen full of dirty plates, consider serving your friends on bio-degradable palm leaf dinnerware. These plates come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are available online from http://www.marxfoods.com/. The plates are stylish, eco-friendly and easy!

One of the things my friends like to do is create a group dinner from a CSA produce box. This would be perfect for earthday.
And while i can see Seatlejos point, one of the things I like about the blogs is that you can add to the ideas you read.
I like the idea of the holiday dinner. I hate the idea of ordering a product that will use up natural resources and will cost fossil fuels to reach me. Thats not very earth day friendly is it?
