  1. Planning Choices Choose biodegradable plastic utensils, cups & paper plates/napkins OR choose china since it is re-useable Avoid individually packaged items & order ‘bulk’ to reduce waste. Ask that recycling & compost containers be available with proper signage to educate your guests (don’t forget the compostable garbage bags needed!) If having a china event, ask that the food scraps be composted ‘behind the scenes’. Arrange for left-over food to be picked up or delivered to the local food shelter (available for large volume events). Food Choices Choose Fair Trade Coffee. Choose locally grown & regional foods (e.g. produce, nuts, olive oil, rice etc.). Choose organic and/or free range meats. Choose only sustainable seafood best choices as listed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program. www.seafoodwatch.org Choose local & biodynamic/organic wines & sustainably brewed beer when possible.
