TreeHugger Picks: TreeHuggerTV's Eco-Party Tips

A couple of big holidays are right around the corner, and with the holidays come the holiday parties. TreeHuggerTV has some good ideas for how to source, plan and enjoy eco-parties during the holidays and all year 'round.
1) Get the skinny on organic and biodynamic wines from the folks at Appellation Wine Store, Benziger Family Winery and Organic Wine Journal.
2) Wine isn't for everyone, and we think learning how to buy organic milk is important enough that there's a second episode dedicated to the beverage that does the body good.
3) No party is complete without food, so bone up on how to buy green fish before buying.
4) The three-part eco-party series (part one, part two & part three) covers the party from start to finish, considering everything from eco-friendly furniture, corn plastics, green gin & vodka and bamboo placemats.

Hi,
The URL's for part 1, 2 and 3 seem to be broken.
Any idea where I can get more info on the weedboard used for the sidetable in this series?

Looking to throw an eco party for your children? Here are some additional ideas... kids can be green and have fun too.
1. Go to a cooking school, or have an instructor over to your home to teach kids how to prepare a healthy dish that they can eat at the party.
2. Take a tour of an organic farm, a dairy farm or an orchard.
3. Tie-dye organic cotton T-shirts with natural dyes.
4. Provide seeds, pots and soil, and have kids plant their own flowers, herbs or veggies. For treats, make fruit flowers and healthy “dirt pots” .
