 Use an electric or gas grill instead of a charcoal or wood-burning model. They burn cleaner, contributing less pollutants and toxic particles to the air.
When in the market for a new BBQ, buy the highest quality and most energy efficient model that you can afford, and be sure to keep it well maintained. In the long run you will save money because your BBQ will last longer, and you will be contributing less material to landfills.
Clean your grill while it is still hot instead of waiting until the next time you use it. This will allow you to cut back on energy consumed with extended pre-heat times.
When hosting a backyard get-together, use real plates and cutlery with cloth napkins. It is worth some extra washing to help out the planet.
Add ambiance to any outdoor soiree with natural decorative elements, such as potted plants or flowers cut from your own garden.
