Your sustainable Easter

Easter is coming! Since it is important to us at GREENFORCE to maintain traditions, but to think about them in a new and more sustainable way, we have collected some tips and tricks for you here on how you can make your Easter greener than usual.

Sustainable Easter decorations

The Sal willow catkins are a popular Easter symbol and are therefore often used for decorative purposes, but also for Christian customs. The willow branches are tied together to form palm bushes and decorated with colorful ribbons or Easter eggs. On Palm Sunday the branches are consecrated in the service and carried out of the church in the palm procession.
However, the catkins are an important source of food in spring for many animals, such as bees and other pollen collectors. That's why palm catkins are now protected and cannot simply be taken home in the wild. So that you don't have to miss out on the beautiful sight of the first signs of spring, you can plant the Sal willow in your garden, for example. So you have a wonderful and at the same time natural Easter decoration on your doorstep.

Your vegan Easter brunch

The classic Easter brunch is a tradition for many. What should not be missing, especially at Easter, are hard-boiled colored eggs or egg dishes, such as scrambled eggs or omelettes. However, very few chicken eggs are laid by happy hens. Most of the colorful Easter eggs come from large battery-laying hens in which the hens lead a life of great suffering (find out more about this here ).
So this Easter, try our Easy To Mix Vegan Egg for your favorite egg dish, such as scrambled eggs or omelettes. You can enjoy full egg enjoyment without any animal suffering! Our Easy To Mix Vegan Egg also has 65% fewer calories than a regular whole chicken egg and is also a winner when it comes to sustainability as it is made from the fava bean. This miracle bean binds atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and thus fertilizes it naturally.
The Easy To Mix liverwurst-style spreadable sausage will also be a real highlight for your Easter brunch. The spread is sunflower-based, which makes it particularly rich in protein and vitamins. The Easy To Mix spreadable sausage tastes particularly delicious on fresh bread!

So now all we need is a delicious milk substitute to make your vegan Easter brunch perfect! Do you already know our Easy To Shake Organic Oat Drink ? It tastes simply delicious with your coffee or muesli. Thanks to the powder form, you can always prepare your oat drink fresh, you don't have to carry anything around and you even save unnecessary packaging waste. 100% organic and 100% natural!

Zero waste Easter baskets

How about making your own Easter nests this year, for example out of paper or an old cardboard box? This is not only a lot of fun, but is also more sustainable.

You can also line the nests with real grass or moss, for example, saving you the use of artificial grass or purchased straw.
Our tip: if you sow spring barley or cat grass a few days before Easter, you will have a wonderfully green and sustainable Easter nest for Easter.

So you have the perfect sustainable Easter gift for your loved ones!

Easter marches for peace

Especially in these times it is important to send symbolic signals. At Easter time, Easter marches and activities take place in many cities. The tradition of these marches can be traced back to the 1950s. At that time, thousands of war opponents gathered in London for the first time to demonstrate against nuclear weapons. On Good Friday, April 15, 1960, opponents of nuclear war started the first Easter march in Germany.

If you would like to be part of this movement, you can find all other important information about the Easter marches 2024 here .
