Perserve Tablewear: On the Go TableWeare for $20.99

Summer is an entire season of celebrating Mother Earth. You can go greeen and through a great summer party too. Here are some green tips from Earth911.com to help you keep your summer festivities green:

• Use propane for grilling –   According to the study by the Environment Impact Assessment Review , “The overwhelming factors are that as a fuel, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is dramatically more efficient than charcoal in its production and considerably more efficient in cooking.”
• Plan a local, organic menu – According to the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service, “Produce in the U.S. travels, on average, 1,300 to 2,000 miles from farm to consumer.”
•  If disposable is a must, go for smarter choices — Preserve Tableware is made from a thicker resin of plastic that allows multiple uses. Also, Preserve’s products are made from 100 percent recycled polypropylene (plastic #5 or PP).
