10 Ways to Throw a Greener BBQ This Summer

Reducing Picnic Waste

At the beach, the park or your backyard, barbecues and picnics are a great way to celebrate summer. But they also generate a lot of trash, particularly single-use plastics that wind up in landfills or, worse, in oceans and waterways.

So while you’re enjoying the great outdoors, why not give Mother Nature a break by packing your picnic hamper with these reusable and recyclable items to create a low/no waste barbecue? Take a look at our suggestions for products to throw a greener barbecue.

Remember that with compostables, check the label for the length of the break-down time. Some items might be better off in your organic recycling bin than your home compost pile.
