Gas vs Charcoal Barbeque Grills

A gas barbeque grill emits 5.6 lbs of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per hour as opposed to 11 lbs per hour from a charcoal grill. Cooking out also keeps that extra heat out of the house in the summer, thus making the house easier to cool. The grilling possibilities are fun and endless!
Consider using regular plates and cups when you cook out as opposed to paper, plastic, or foam plates and cups. There are even reusable bamboo plates available, and bamboo is a renewable resource. I know that disposable is easier, but it takes years for plastic or foam plates to decompose and we have to kill trees to make paper plates. Our kids and grandkids will thank us for leaving them a better world.
