Spring is in the air in Manhattan (which, we assume, must mean its practically summer everywhere else). Its time, once again, to put away our jackets and prepare for the season of picnics, BBQ’s and day outings!<\/p>\n

While no one loves a good spring party more than I do, it turns out that our love of disposable party goods generates the second largest amount of waste in the USA, just behind the construction industry.<\/p>\n

Not to worry. Sustainable help has arrived! Susty Party<\/a>, a Brooklyn based company, creates responsibly made, eco-friendly party supplies and compostable tableware that, as they like to say, “make parties more sustainable, and sustainability a little more fun.”<\/p>\n

Here’s four products you’ll want to have on hand for your days in the sun.<\/p>\n
