I recently shared my experience with the Party Kit Network at The Queen Bee Networks, highlighting how I became a member, the impact of party kits on celebrations, and their potential for fostering sustainability in our community.

What I'm most excited about is our vision for the future: a world where every community has access to party kits, reusing becomes an instinct, and sharing is woven into a part of our daily lives.

By rebuilding community connections, we can create a culture where sharing is simply the norm. To join our Sustainable Communities Meetup Group, visit our Meetup Page here:

Did you know that a children's birthday party can be a powerful opportunity to model eco-friendly values? With a few simple swaps, you can significantly reduce the 5 trash bags of waste per party that's typically generated, much of which comes from single-use plastics.

By choosing sustainable options, you'll not only minimize harm to the environment, but also inspire a new generation of eco-conscious leaders. So why not make your party more eco-friendly with one of our party packs 🥳 🌏
