It's a day to remember and a day to appreciate Earth and our families

Memorial day is the turning point in the season when you realize that summer is finally here.  It’s a time of year when families gather for backyard barbeques and fun water sports of all kinds.  While your making memories with family and friends, here are a few ways to do it with eco-friendly style!

Use a solar powered or gas grill instead of charcoal!

Recycle or compost all of the materials that use for your meal.

If your spending the day at the beach, have the kids do a fun beach clean up!  You’ll be surprised at the level of participation.

Aim for bio-degradable dishes for your picnic

Kick summer off right and stay tuned for safe summer practices!
