This article critiques the use of plastic Easter grass, comparing it to Christmas tinsel—visually appealing but ultimately regrettable due to environmental consequences. The tiny plastic strands linger around the home for months and are non-recyclable, contributing to landfill waste. However, the article provides eco-friendly alternatives for Easter baskets, such as recycled paper grass, shredded natural materials like Aspen wood fibers and raffia, and even DIY options using old paper. These alternatives maintain tradition while promoting sustainability and responsible consumerism.
Easter grass is like Christmas tinsel. The tiny plastic shreds sure do look good for a brief moment, but afterward, you regret having used them.

Here are some excellent alternatives to plastic Easter basket grass that can be reused or composted when you're done with them!
Natural raffia, produced from palm trees, is a great alternative to plastic Easter grass. Available in a variety of colors, it's easy to have fun filling a basket.
