According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, over half of all Americans will be on patios enjoying meals from backyard grills this Memorial Day weekend.  While the affect of a small grill may seem small, the cumulative impacts of the millions simultaneous burns around the country can add up.  So why not add a little ‘green’ to your party this year? 

By increasing your eco awareness on ‘greener’ options, you can make a significant difference in your personal life, local community, and the overall environment.  It can also be fun to try out some new things.  Here are a few tips from Sierra Magazine:   •    Cleaner-burning propane or electric grills are preferable over charcoal fired grills, which contribute more to poor air quality.   •    For those who do use charcoal, consider lump brands bag .  These are made from real hardwood firewood chunks which have been charred and do not contain chemical binders or igniting agents.    •    Switch from lighter fluid, which releases smog-forming VOCs, to a chimney starter.   Click here for more tips.
