It is kind of fun remembering the party as I wash the dishes. I was just reading that latex balloons, when disposed of properly are 1oo percent biodegradable vs. mylar, which is made from petroleum-derived polyester, and takes hundreds of years to biodegrade. Good to know for bday parties too. There is always more to learn and try! Hi Julia, thanks! It is kind of fun remembering the party as I wash the dishes.

We have done most of our kids' b-day parties at home. We never buy disposable stuff normally, but we always have for b-day parties because it's only once year. Last time I felt a little sick about it knowing that we had enough Moe's cups and plastic plates, and it's not that hard to wash them. So next time we're going green on our birthdays too.
