Organic Brew.
‘Green beer’ isn't just for St. Patrick’s Day. Big players like Anheuser-Busch have gotten into the act, so organic brew may very well be sold wherever you normally buy groceries.
Wolaver's is currently the largest national distributor of all-organic beers. In any case, it's an excuse to sample Wolaver's award-winning Brown Ale or Oatmeal Stout. You'll find similar organic selections from Peak Brewing and Goose Island Beer Company.

It's tempting to break out the paper plates and plastic cutlery when you're eating away from home. They're certainly convenient, but most dining disposables end up in the environment or clogging local landfills, rather than finding their way into the recycling stream. Intsead, pick up a set of washable and reusable lightweight plastic place settings. It is a great outdoor investment!
