A Green Independence Day

Posted by Etienne Giroux on Jul 03, 2009 at 11:24 am in Headlines, Resources

The Independance Day is upon us, and the celebrations are going wild already, in this extended weekend. Inhabitat tallied up a list of 5 easy ways to be greener with your 4th of July celebrations. It’s easy to get carried away in the festivities, but keeping the planet in mind can be healthy and economically smart!

They list the basic ideas, like turning the air conditioning off when you go outside for the BBQ, and carpooling to the party, but also asking for “Eco To Go” take out at restaurants. Head over there for the full list with images! 

For those worried about the fireworks and their chemical pollutants, you can be relieved that the next generation of fireworks will significantly cut down the perchlorates levels in the fireworks, by changing the currently polluting (and dangerous) formula. Head over at greenbiz to see the full article and the informative PDF document.
