In addition, don't immediately recycle cardboard containers (like cereal boxes, or any other items you buy), re-use them as shipping containers. You can simply remove the labels, and place new ones overtop.  Ideal Bite: First Class Love Letter  Davpack Top 10 Tips To Reuse Your Packaging Materials Easy Scale: [7] (1-10 scale, 1 = Difficult and costly, 10 = simple and no cost or little effort) Impact Scale: [2] (1-5 scale, 1 = Minor but worthwhile, 5 = Strong impact on environment) Category: Recycling User Comments  This is a great idea and can really bring out your "creativity".

Website Translation Use a gas grill instead of charcoal Propane is made from oil, but so is charcoal. The lighter fluid used on charcoal also contributes to the problem, and the burning of charcoal releases more carbon dioxide than burning propane gas (carbon per Btu of gas is about one-third that of charcoal) There are 152 actions on this website that you can take to help save the earth!
