Let’s talk partying green!
For last year, a friend Chen threw a partying green session called “A Night of Eco-Chic Entertaining. It was so cool. It followed it up with two other parties. So partying green is my jam! For that’s including one last Wednesday night to celebrate the launch of The Lazy Environmentalist on a Budget, Josh Dorfman’s follow-up book to The Lazy Environmentalist: Your Guide to Easy, Stylish, Green Living.
For reference, the original Lazy Environmentalist book was so popular that it spawned a syndicated radio show on Sirius Satellite from 2006 to 2008. So now Dorfman writes a weekly column for MNN and currently is filming aspects of the book for a TV show on the Sundance Channel.
Josh Dorfman
Dorfman, known for his practical and accessible approach to eco-friendly lifestyles, used the event to demonstrate that living green is not only possible but also beneficial during financial hardships. The party itself was an embodiment of his principles, featuring organic snacks, reusable materials, and a commitment to minimal waste. Dorfman’s message is clear: sustainability can be seamlessly integrated into our everyday lives without sacrificing comfort or style, even when budgets are tight. This celebration highlights the growing movement towards environmental consciousness and the importance of making sustainable choices accessible to all.
