Green Your Summer Outdoor Cookouts
As long summer days allow us to have cookouts and parties outdoors, here are several ways you can make sure that your cool shindigs are also eco-friendly.
If you want to keep your backyard party going well after the sun sets, Big Dipper Wax Works offers all-natural citronella torches. When one bug-repellent beeswax and soy candle burns down, pop anther into the reusable bamboo base.
For the grill, traditional briquettes release 105 times more carbon monoxide than propane does, so opt for Lazaari 100 percent netural mesquite charcoal. This fuel is made from ecologically harvested wood; it is a carbon-neutral, flavor-enhancing alternative.
Where to put the food from the grill? Consider dishwasher safe, light, durable, and colorful Preserve On-The-Go recycled plates. These can be reused hundreds of times to save you money, gas and time by eliminating the need to take multiple trips to the store to get more single-use disposable plates. Use these plates and you won't have to haul out bags of trash destined for the landfill.
How to get the food from the grill to the plate? Bamboo-handled Verde tongs by Outset are god for the environment and for outdoor cookouts.
Ever find that you simply don't have enough hands to hold the plate, cup, napkin, utensils that comes with partying outdoors? These trays are weatherproof and made of recycled materials. Soleil reusable serving trays will allow everyone to cart their plates, drinks, napkins, party favors, fork and knife anywhere, and when labeled with name tags, the trays serve to lessen confusion. No more of the usual: "which glass is mine?" or "where did I put that plate of food?"
Want to enjoy the great outdoors without offering your body as an open buffet to bugs? Get the geraniol insect repelling wristbands. They repel bugs for up to 120 hours without having to spray on sticky or harmful chemicals.
Make summer enjoyments both fun and sustainable.
