In the spirit of the 4th of July I've picked my brain and trolled around blog sphere for easy ways to have an earth friendly holiday.
Sharon Troy of Eat. Drink. Better. has some excellent tips on how to minimize your carbon footprint when firing up the grill. She suggests using a propane grill instead of charcoal, or purchasing cleaner burning coals like the one's available here at www.greenyour.com.
Paul Smith of Ecopreneurtist recommends ecoflame products. They make a non-toxic lighter fluid and a warming gel from sugar cane.
I suggest planning ahead and buying your fruits and veggies from the farmers market, or stores that offer locally grown produce.
Follow the same philosophy with your meat and stick to the free range organic locally farmed varieties. If your stumped for options, Nieman Ranch has great steaks and Aidells sells 3 kinds of certified organic and 10 types of antibiotic-free, all-natural sausages.
Happy Grilling!
