Greenie Thought of the Day: Make it a green party

Brenda writes…

If you’re having a party or getting a group of friends together, why not make it a green party?

When thinking about what drinks you want to serve, go for organic or Fairtrade wines and beers instead of the usual. Ethical Superstore have a huge selection of organic, Fairtrade, and socially responsible wines by the bottle and the case, starting from £4.95 (for a bottle not case!). Choose UK grown juices, for example apple or pear juice are usually in good supply, or check out the range of organic and fair trade juices on the market, or even better go to the local greengrocer (if your town still has one!), or check out fruit and vegetables at your local farmers market. Abel and Cole are also a great online retailer of seasonal organic food. Whilst you’re at it, if you’re a big juice fan, invest in a juicer and make your own – my kids love to make their own juices!

When thinking about the food side, depending whether you are just making snacks or a full blown meal, go for organic products and ones that are UK produced. This time of year is great for Strawberries and Cream for dessert. For a main why not get organic, UK produced and grown, meat and vegetables.
