The trend for warmer summers is keeping us grilling. But there's no fire without smoke, and this is where a little care is needed if you want to entertain whilst also being kind to the planet.
- Use a real barbecue rather than a disposable one.
- Light your barbecue with a special chimney starter for greater efficiency.
- Don't use lighter fluid which releases Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
- Use reusable dishes rather than disposable and washable napkins rather than paper. If you must use disposables, use compostable plates, cups and utensils or items made from recycled materials.
- Shop greener to reduce waste especially of packaging. Avoid single serving products. Buy in bulk and larger containers.
- After the barbecue, recycle and compost what you can - including charcoal ashes.
- Give away any leftovers to cut down on food waste.
