Five Easy Ways to Green Up Your Tailgate!

That coolness in the air means football and tailgating season has arrived. But can you make a stadium outing less of a green disaster? Try these tips:

The Green Barbecue.
Your lowest-impact grilling option is propane. Sure, propane is a fossil fuel — but it burns a lot cleaner than charcoal or wood fires, leaves behind less waste and is particularly convenient when cooking away from home.
Earth-friendly Eats.
Go with local, seasonal produce in your favorite recipes. The great thing about tailgating season is that it coincides with the biggest selection of the year down at the farmers market.
Organic Brew.
‘Green beer’ isn't just for St. Patrick’s Day. Big players like Anheuser-Busch have gotten into the act, so organic brew may very well be sold wherever you normally buy groceries.
Ditching the Disposables.
Pick up lightweight, plastic place settings. It’s a great outdoor investment and better on the environment.
A Little Entertainment.
Crank your own tunes with the Eton Emergency Radio.
