As a Gold Certified Biosphere Destination, we encourage and challenge tourism professionals to hop on the sustainability path this Easter for a more eco-friendly holiday weekend.

Traditions such as Easter Egg Hunts produce unnecessary waste and there are sustainable alternatives.

TOTA has compiled the following tips to make Easter celebrations more eco-friendly:

  • Buy local products or experiences for Easter baskets

  • Recycle - where ever possible, egg foil from your Easter egg chocolates is recyclable

  • Buy organic or fair trade chocolate and look for local chocolatiers

  • Buy local, free range, organic eggs and decorate with natural dyes

  • Try eco-friendly alternatives to Easter basket grass and plastic eggs

  • Compost egg shells

  • Avoid food waste - be aware of gathering numbers and share leftovers

  • Reduce Single Use Plastics

  • Choose reusable decorations, baskets, and outfits

  • Buy local produces and vegetables to balance out sweets
