Pot out permanant markers for people to write their names on their cups to eliminate waste. If you do use bottles or cans, be sure to put out clearly marked recycling bins.
b.) Green Paper Products: It is not always possible to avoid paper products, especially during a party, but today there are more eco-friendly paper products available. When you need to use disposable dishes, look for products that are recycled,biodegradable, or made from unbleached paper products.
c.) Grill Green: Hot dogs, hamburgers, shrimp, steaks,or corn on the cob on the grill create a smoken' Labor Day menu, but did you know that your choice of charcoal matters?
