Uh-oh, the Easter Bunny is going green!



Plastic eggs and fake grass are SO last Easter... 

This Easter could be a lot greener if the Eco Easter Bunny has his way. Here are his suggestions:


• Forget the baskets for everyone. Consider one big “family” basket.  The kids won't mind sharing at all.



• Shred your own Easter grass. Old newspapers and magazines will work just fine in the bottom of your family basket. Real grass or salad is another great edible option.



• End Easter egg emissions. Petroleum-based plastic Easter eggs generate tons of emissions and landfill waste each year. Go with real eggs or painted rocks instead.



• Skip the old-fashioned basket treats and stick some colorful organic sidewalk chalk in there. Edible Veggie Sidewalk Chalk is lead-free and made with vegan, organic food-based ingredients including beets and spinach. It's fun to draw with and good for you too!



If you have any room left over for Easter dinner – start an Easter garden compost pile with the leftovers. Consider adopting a homeless bunny who can help provide some great organic fertilizer for your new garden.
