Football Tailgating The Eco-Friendly Way

Planet Green:

Hearty eats, good beers, and college football, what more do you need? As a die hard Georgia Bulldog fan, I never miss a game day but tailgating can also cause a ton of waste. This season why not take some easy steps toward a greener tailgate?

1. Serve local grub and skip the convenience foods. All those prepackaged foods come with a ton of waste. All those plastics will be building up in your local landfill for years to come. So skip the prepackaged dips, potato salad, and deviled eggs and make your own. Make your crudites with locally grown veggies. Make your hoagies with bread from a local baker.

When in Ann Arbor on game days, go to the Farmer's Market, just a mile north of the Big House. You'll find lots of tailgate-ready offerings, lots of knowledgable football talk, and the cheapest last minute game day parking.

GO BLUE!!!

why not just eat the grass and leaves... I'd suggest corn but ganggreene has made a disaster of food harvests by using food for fuel

Tip #6: And if you have to hurl, try to find a patch of azaleas, rhododendrons, or hydrangeas. They thrive in acidic soil, and fertilizer is fertilizer.


(lollll...­yes, that is entirely unscientific and further I have no personal evidence to back it up; in fact, it results soley from my weird sense of humor driving me to google for "acid-loving plants")
