Making Mardi Gras more sustainable

With Mardi Gras under our belt, something on everyone’s mind is how to make New Orleans’ carnival more sustainable. In recent years, there has been a dedicated effort to make our city cleaner and greener.

Did you know that 80% of the beads sold at Plush Appeal are made of recycled materials? Post carnival, consider donating beads to organizations like Arc of Greater New Orleans and local libraries.

In addition, there are plenty of ways to give your beads another life – get creative. If you love crafting, use beads for your next big project. Check out some of our favorites.
