Eco Guide to the Easter Show

The Easter Show and environmentally friendly aren’t really terms you’d think of in the same sentence but the good news is you can still have a fabulous day at the Show and not make a huge impact on the planet. We’ve created an eco guide to the Easter Show to help.

THERE’S NO EXCUSE FOR SINGLE USE

It is estimated Australians use 1 billion disposable coffee cups each year and make sure you’re sitting down for this one, a rumoured 10 million plastic straws are used every day. You can make a difference by bringing a pack of reusable products from home. Here’s our handy packing list:

• Eco coffee cup for your caffeine fix

• Reusable straw

• Reusable cutlery (just make sure not to bring a knife that would be considered a weapon!)

• Reusable bag

• Reusable water bottle

BUY SHOWBAGS FROM COMPANIES WHO USE RECYCLED PLASTIC

Did you know all of Chicane Showbag’s plastic bags are created from recycled plastic? We also have a range of our showbags in paper bags and in reusable bags removing the plastic all together!

WIPES

Mums will know that wipes are important items to bring to the Easter Show to wipe dagwood dog sauce from the face of kids (and probably adults). Check out WotNot Wipes for organic, natural and biodegradable wipes. Then you can skip napkins too!

TICKET

Obviously you’ll need this! Opt for an electronic or mobile ticket rather than printing your ticket.
