## Let’s talk partying green!

For last year, a friend Chen threw a partying green session called “A Night of [Eco-Chic](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/09/eco-chic-homes-where-style-meets-sustainability/)
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](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/02/interview-with-josh-dorfman-the-lazy-environmentalist/)
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. Yeah, I was at this party and it was great. The Lazy Environmentalist
Goes on a Budget as Brian Clark Howard called it was a great party. Josh wrote a
great little note to me in the book and the event was more than smashing.](https://

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.
