Fun in the sun
By Corey
Beyond Independence Day, summertime brings with it numerous reasons to celebrate - some of which may be official (i.e. 4th of July), while others are hush-hush (can you say “sick day?”) - but all of which deserve a consideration of our health and dear planet.
Some of our green tips for celebrating in the summer months are more obvious: use reusable, compostable or recyclable plates and utensils for picnics; consider vacationing closer to home; and always choose certified organic meats for your barbecue - or better yet, go veggie.
But had you thought about the reasons why the one thing all of your outdoor-party guests should be wearing is mineral-based, micronized sunscreen (especially if you just happen to live by coral reefs) and why an ideal birthday gift for your surfer niece, Betty, is an ecologically-sound wetsuit?
Or how about the fact that parking in the shade (while waiting for your boss’s surprise retirement party to begin) will reduce fuel evaporation, or that the EPA recommends that you kindly refrain from tossing the leftover crusts from your son’s sleep-over pizza down the drain for your garbage disposal to chew up?
These hot tips can’t be found at just any old blog!
What ideas do you have for green summertime celebrating? We’d love to hear about them…
