Popular McLaren Vale winery, Wirra Wirra, recently got in touch with us wanting to create some Eco Picnic Packs for their fans to take advantage of the Cellar Door's new BBQ facilities.

Wirra Wirra actively seek to operate via environmentally sustainable management practices in all parts of their business.

Asher's 2nd Birthday Party

Last weekend welcomed the 2nd birthday for my youngest child Asher and the 1st anniversary of the birth of the Eco Party Box idea.

It was while looking for eco friendly party supplies for Aher’s 1st birthday last year that I decided to create this business - and I really love it!

So this year just had to be extra special and extra eco.

Which wax is weally the most wonderful?

The following candle wax article is from the April/May 2011 edition of G Magazine Australia and why we choose to only stock handmade 100% organic beeswax candles made in Australia.

Which wax is weally the most wonderful?

Is there anything more indulgent than a candlelit dinner with your special someone or relaxing in a warm bath surrounded by the glow of tealights? In the semi-awake state induced by low lighting, candles help us to chill out and leave the stresses of the day behind.

But flipping the electric switch off for some old-fashioned mood lighting isn’t as straightforward as you might think. There’s paraffin wax, soy wax, palm wax and beeswax to choose from, not to mention an array of scents, shapes and sizes. In environmental terms, candles seem deceptively pure. However, behind the light lie some surprising eco-truths.

World Environment Day

World Environment Day ... every day!

Looking after the environment has become a hot issue lately ... at least politically.

The introduction of a carbon tax in Australia will tax companies and people higher so they are forced to think about their impact on the environment. Sadly this may be the only way to get them to think green.

We think the answer is for world environment day to become an everyday event - at least in people's lives. We would love to see people honor their connection with nature - by comprehending it is essentially where we are all from, where we all return and is the source of all things beautiful and real.

We hope that everyone can adopt this type of perception as we feel an awakened perception of who we are and not a tax on living is the best way to save the planet - and find joy and sense of truth in life.

We would love to share a beautiful movie with you called La Belle Verte (The Green Beautiful). Stream it free HERE.

We would also like to share the quote on the bookmark which we give to all our valuable customers who purchase an Eco Party Box:

"If you lose touch with nature you lose touch with humanity ..." - Jiddu Krishnamurti.

We wish you and the planet a truly wonderful World Environment Day on June 5. Please see our new Weekly Promotions page on our Facebook page to take advantage of our sale. www.facebook.com/ecopartybox
