Delaware North’s ‘Seeds for Sustainability’ will offer guests eco-friendly, plantable drink coasters that you can take home.
What's Happening:
- April is Earth Month and Delaware North’s ‘Seeds for Sustainability’ Campaign will allow guests to take home a plantable drink coaster.
- This coaster is embedded with wildflower seeds and will replace disposable paper coasters at its restaurants during April.
- There will be more than 32,000 disposable coasters that will be replaced with eco-friendly seed coasters. This will result in 10 million wildflower seeds being planted.
- These coasters are embedded with pollinator wildflowers and will attract bees and other insects that collect and distribute pollen necessary for many plants to grow. That even includes fruits and vegetables.
- The wildflowers that are in the coaster are native to North America and include Black-Eyed Susan, Corn Poppy, Spurred Snapdragon, Sweet Alyssum, English Daisy, and Catchfly seeds.
- These coasters can be found at Disney Springs at Morimoto Asia, The Edison, Maria and Enzo’s, Enzo’s Hideaway, and Pizza Pointe.
- If there are any leftover coasters, they will be donated to local community organizations.
