Kick off the summer this Memorial Day Weekend by greenifying your BBQ Party. Here are the top 5 ways to make your Memorial Day shindig a little more sustainable.
- Grill – A solar powered grill is the most eco-friendly way to grill these days, but if that’s not an option for you opt for a grill that burns natural gas rather than charcoal, as it is cleaner.
- Food – Shop at a local farmer’s market for your BBQ ingredients. You can usually find great local organic produce, breads & meats.
- Tableware – Switch to biodegradable dishes.
- Napkins – Use washable napkins to reduce paper waste.
- Compost – Compost leftover food scraps & other organic trash.
Happy Grilling!
Great reminders for a happy and healthy weekend. Hope you enjoy yours!
I like the compost idea since there is always a lot of waste after a picnic. I’m not a good enough griller to use charcoal so I have that covered 🙂
I love the sweater to vest DIY, plus the recycling information. I wish more people would care about the environment to recycle, stop using toxic chemicals, and stop throwing plastic and aluminum or glass in the regular garbage. I just don’t get it….
