Have a Green 4th of July

Wow I can’t believe it July 4th is less than a week away, crazy!  Here are some ints on how you can green up your celebartion.

  • As we talked about before you can grill greener by using  real plates or recycled and compostable disposables.  You can win a Gift Card to get some for yourself here but enter quick the giveaway ends Today at 9:00 PM CST.
  • Use propane for your grill out not charcole. ScienceDaily reports that as fuel, LPG is “dramatically more efficient than charcoal in its production”
  • Use reuseable decorations you can make your own out of scrap fabric and paint if you want like my USA Sign.

  • Don’t do your own fireworks just watch the big ones! Oh and carpool to get there.
  • Use water pitchers and 2 liters of pop to reduce waste.
  • Choose localy harvested food if possiable.
  • Party Outside so you don’t tax your your AC.
  • RECYCLE!
