“ Easter in Green ” is the initiative launched by WWF Italy to spread practical advice for a sustainable and environmentally friendly Easter. The goal is to reduce waste and negative impacts on the planet through more conscious choices. Here are some suggestions for an eco-sustainable Easter: 1. DIY decorations 🎨 Opt for decorations made with natural or recycled materials, such as eggs colored with vegetable dyes (turmeric, beetroot, coffee, spinach, etc.), paper flowers or olive branches. 2. Local and seasonal products 🍽️ Choose locally sourced and seasonal products to reduce the environmental impact of transportation. In spring, vegetables such as asparagus, artichokes, broad beans and agretti are excellent choices. 3. Nature trips 🌳 Take advantage of Easter and organize a trip out of town, a walk among the woods or a picnic in a park. Bring only the essentials, preferring reusable or compostable dishes, and replace disposable plastic with more sustainable materials 4. Sustainable chocolate eggs 🍫 Choose chocolate eggs with ethical and environmental certifications, such as Fairtrade or Rainforest Alliance, and opt for recyclable paper packaging to reduce the use of single-use plastic 5. Conscious shopping 🛍️ Reducing food waste is a sustainable and convenient gesture. Plan your menu carefully, choose fresh and loose products, and reuse leftovers in new creative recipes. Learn to read labels carefully: "Use by" indicates a strict deadline, while "Best before" leaves more flexibility. By following these tips, you can celebrate Easter in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way! 🌍💚
