Shower the New Year with Bio-Fetti

Between party plans and holiday gifts, you probably haven't finished your list of New Year's resolutions. Maybe you have, but allow me to make one suggestion: Go Green. Here's how:

• Resolve to recycle.
  
• Commit to composting.
  
• Lock your feet to the pedals and bike to work.
• Ditch the styrofoam - use dishes.

I'm sure you can add numerous ideas to the list on your own.

But before we get too serious about this resolution thing, let's party! - with biodegradable confetti! Yes, they really do make such a thing as biodegradable confetti. And it makes good sense, too. Who wants to spend hours sweeping and picking up teeny tiny flecks all over nature's finest gifts (trees, grass, flowers, etc.), or even on cement for that matter.

Colorful, lightweight, and water-soluble, ecofetti may be the only option permitted for weddings or other celebrations at certain locations. You can by it in bulk and fill your own containers, or purchase individual poppers that spew fun confetti just at the right moment.

Here are some online sources for biodegradable confetti:

Now you can ring in the new year with a joyful shower outdoors and not feel bad about leaving a mess in the environment! Rain or a hose is all you'll need to dissolve the confetti and wash it away. Happy New Year!
