New Year and sustainable practices: advice for those traveling and for those who stay at home

The ideal, as you can easily guess, is to leave in time with everything related to the organization of this beautiful evening, perhaps planning in the company of friends or relatives, but also only together with your family or sweet half, a dream New Year.

Often and willingly, however, we are led to think that New Year corresponds, after all, to the usual dinner and party in the most complete monotony. Instead, it is not at all, since there are numerous alternatives, of which a good part also eco-sustainable, for those who always have an eye towards the environment that surrounds us. In this regard, we take a look at some precautions that can help to live on the last day of the year in a more eco -sustainable way.

New Year away: always respect the indications on sustainability

In the event that you have decided to spend New Year away from home, there are many suggestions to take into consideration. First of all, the choice of the location could be linked to the use of means of transport that pollute less. One of the most popular destinations for New Year is undoubtedly the eternal city. Organizing the New Year in Rome is simpler, perhaps, relying on platforms that provide different solutions as to events and stays. In this sense, it is always important to go in search of the most ecological or at least attentive proposals to the environmental question.

In any case, once the destination is decided, adopting ecological practices also on New Year is very simple and does not require special efforts. Many events that take place in Rome outdoors now include a separate collection service, or an ever wider use of recycled materials. Moving in a sustainable way is simple: avoid using the car and focus on public transport, rather than on car sharing. And the choice of the restaurant where celebrating the New Year should be in the name of the “green” concept: therefore, it is better to prefer those places that focus so much on zero and seasonal kilometer products and which, at the same time, reduce as much as possible the use of sustainable packaging.

New Year’s Eve at home? Here are some eco -sustainable tips to implement

Are you thinking of organizing the New Year’s Eve at your home and invite friends and relatives? Then, the best thing to do is to study a menu with the utmost attention in all respects eco -sustainable. Choosing local realities and preferring foods in the name of seasonality is already an excellent starting point. If you want to focus on fish dishes, one of the best suggestions is to look at your gaze above all to certified fish products as coming from sustainable fishing and respectful of marine biodiversity.

The adoption of correct ecological practices obviously also involves the preparation phase. The choice of decorations, starting from the kitchen, plans to make many respectful decisions of the environment. For example, the placeholders may not even be purchased for once, but created using waste or recovery materials, perhaps from the same culinary preparations that you have in mind to propose for the dinner.

Green choices can also be made on the choice of dishes. In the event that you want to opt for disposable, then it is essential to focus on glasses and dishes made with 100% compostable materials as per the appropriate certification. Their separate collection in the staff at the end of the evening will be a perfect example of circular economy, taking into account that then those dishes will become compost.
