Danielle: Hi, I'm Danielle Venokur and I have a sustainable event production company called dvGreen.
Ever hard of a green party? That's what we do, and I'm here on MNN to show you how to do the same.
Danielle: Happy birthday to me!
Danielle: She shoots she scores!
Danielle: I have been planning parties my whole life and you cannot imagine the waste that these things create.
So, in the last two years, I decided to go eco.
Danielle: Touchdown Green!
Danielle: I always love a good party, whether it's a wedding, a birthday party, corporate events, or non-profit fundraisers.
At dvGreen, we plan them all, and I am here to help you do the same.
Danielle: Her motto is trash has feelings too, and I totally agree. And so does Elbert.
