Hosting a 'green' Super Bowl party
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 2/4/11 | Terri Bennett

If you have plans to host a Super Bowl party, you may need to deal with trash talking guests, but you don't have to deal with bags of trash from the party. Do your part by hosting a greener party, no matter what colors your team sports.

THE BEER: You'll probably be stocking up on most of your party supplies at the grocery store. If beer is on your list, consider trying a few varieties of organic or locally brewed beers.

If you're having a large crowd, renting a keg is both more economical and less wasteful. A full-size keg holds the equivalent of 165 12-ounce containers of beer and can be refilled and used over and over again.

For individually packaged beverages of all kinds, the greener choices are ones packaged in aluminum cans. Aluminum is the most valuable and cost-effective material that we recycle.

Plus, aluminum can be recycled and back on the store shelves as new product in a matter of weeks.

OTHER BEVERAGES: When serving water, the best choice is to provide a pitcher of ice water and reusable glasses for your guests. If bottled water is a must, buy bottles made with less plastic and make sure they get recycled.

PLATES, UTENSILS: Reusable dinnerware and utensils are the least wasteful means of throwing a party, but it's not always practical. When shopping for disposable products like napkins and paper towels, look for ones made from recycled paper.

If we can't provide Super Bowl Social Justice by providing tickets to everybody who deserves them, the least we can do is throw Green Super Bowl Parties. Have fun, but don't forget your responsibility to "the environment."

LOLOL. Snark, guffaw. Does ANYBODY in the country really read and believe this happy horse sh!t?

the author of the article obviously hates Mother Earth.

...how can you have a "green party" by a having a wasteful television set on? Also, if you have enough room in your residence to have a party...you're wasting space and are living in too big a space.

Maybe this loser ought to take a look at the trash generated from concessions and write her column on dealing with THAT on a “Green basis” rather than this stupid nit-picky crap on individuals.

These idiots are beyond delusional. But I’m sure she’s quite proud of her “contribution to society” after her little feel-good waste of space and papcer.

A keg is an economically smart choice, if you think your guests are going to drink the equivalent of 128 cans of beer.

There are also fun and eco-friendly plates, bowls and utensils made from bamboo or other sustainable materials.

When was the last time you got up from a meal or a snack and commented how FUN the plates and forks were?

Steeler fans are all throwing Black Super Bowl Parties.

The only thing “green” about my SuperBowl Party will be opening up the last bottles of green beer from my St. Patrick’s Day party — oh, and a couple of the cold cuts I got back in mid-January.

Bite me, enviro-wackos. I'll buy whatever the hell kind of beer I want to buy.

And I'll buy the garbage bags that won't break open and I'll drive the kind of vehicle I choose. And I'll eat what I feel like eating.

Get off of our backs, you useless busybodies.
