Go Green For Red, White and Blue

Fourth of July weekend means many people will be out having picnics, barbecues and parties, which often leads to using paper and plastic goods.

Here are some tips to keep your July 4 party green, from Natural Home magazine.

–Use recycled utensils. Instead of using plastic or nylon cooking utensils, try bamboo or recycled stainless steel products; replace plastic bowls and bottles with recycled glass.
–Forget about paper. Use cloth napkins and dishcloths instead of paper. Try ripping up old clothing to make rags, which can be used in place of paper towels.
–Be creative with your table settings. Being green doesn’t have to come at a cost. Replace plastic flatware and paper plates with flea market silver and mismatched dishes.

    Greeting! How does one get sources for electric bicycles added to this site for those individuals who for health or other reasons would prefer not to have to pedal or pollute the air with a gas scooter?
    Thanks.
