People throw away a million extra tons of trash per week at these types of events, including wrapping and packaging. Much of this waste is completely and totally unnecessary.

Treating your mother with the respect and courtesy she deserves is one of the most important things you will do on Mother's Day. However, one does not need to use up unneeded wastes to do so.

Here are some tips for celebrating the occasion while keeping the environment clean:

Instead of Paying (for restaurants or deliveries), Cook your Meals at Home

In a world of restaurant reservations and deliveries, nothing is more thoughtful than a home-cooked meal. 

To many, especially during their younger days, mom's cooking is usually the first meal they ever got to taste. This is why cooking for them would be one of the best ways to honor and celebrate them on their special days.

Home cooking can also make sure that proper portions will be served during the meal. It is a pretty well-known fact that the restaurant industry discards tons of excess food wastes every year. By cooking enough portions at home, you can ensure that almost close to nothing will be wasted because of excess serving. 

DIY Decorations

Because of the glossy coatings, foils, and paints used in most mass-produced decors, they are not recyclable and end up in landfills.

It's such a shame that every year too much water, oil, and trees are wasted purely to create something that just exists to be ripped off and tossed away!

Instead, take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to be creative! Old maps, the comics column of a newspaper, or your old artworks when you were a kid should be used to wrap gifts and decors. 

Choose Sustainable Gifts

Mother's Day is a great time to honor special people in your life, so wouldn't it be much better if we could all honor Mother Earth? Why not do anything special for your mum this Mother's Day while still honoring Mother Earth? There are plenty of eco-friendly Mother's Day gift ideas to choose from, and the ideal present doesn't have to be costly or tough to find.

When giving holiday presents, there are several ways to reduce the consumption effect. Making and providing DIY gifts like personalized ornaments, crafty picture frames with pictures of loved ones, homemade vanilla extract, and handmade soap can be just as fun as receiving them.

Pinterest is brimming with thoughts, and you're just constrained by your creativity.

If you're going to buy gifts at a store, look for items with minimal packaging made from organic materials, and are conveniently recyclable. You may even give presents like a compost bin or a recycled water bottle that make us live more sustainably.
