Earth Hour kicks off tomorrow night at 8:30 pm. At Connections Catering, we are very excited to support the WWF initiative. Sustainability is an important aspect of our business. As a team, we committed to doing our best to minimise our environmental impact. Currently, our business initiatives include:
low-tox cleaning products in our kitchen
sourcing natural, compostable cellophane to wrap our orders
offering our clients biodegradable disposable equipment
using upcycled materials for our decorations packages
reducing our food miles by purchasing local ingredients for our delicious menu items
using our beautiful bamboo trays to serve our food. Not only do these look incredible, but they are also a great waste-free option.
Committing to environmental sustainability is an ongoing journey. It is a goal that we can all achieve by supporting each other to make small, meaningful changes in our lives.
That's why we love Earth Hour. It's a great reminder to take some time out. Taking an hour to "switch off" is so important for so many reasons. At Connections, we will be using the hour to switch off the lights and spend some time with our loved ones. In celebration of Earth Hour, we have listed a few fun activities for the evening.
Candlelit dinner
Invite your friends over for a candlelit dinner. Dress up, decorate your dining room, and spend some time catching up over delicious food. Or for a more casual option, why not share some antipasto around a fire pit? Grab some board games and make an evening of it!
Stargazing
Grab out the binoculars or telescope and check out the stars. The full moon isn't until Sunday night, but it should be the perfect evening for some stargazing. Get the kids involved and see if you can spot any constellations. Redcliffe Jetty is a great local spot to see the stars!
Crafting
For a more low-key evening, why not get crafting with some friends? Get cozy and try some knitting or painting. It's a great way to share a skill or learn something new together. Grab a bottle of wine and a cheeseboard and do your own Paint & Sip session.
Whether you are doing it for the environment or to take a moment in your busy life to relax, enjoy Earth Hour!
