How can you have a plastic-free, vegan holiday celebration? There are now 
many good vegan hot dogs available! Eco Watch has four good suggestions for an eco-friendly Fourth of July. They have ideas to be plastic-free, how to eat 
vegan/vegetarian, ways to create less pollution, and how to choose the correct sun screen. Read them here.
To their list I would add composting of your food waste, and 
controlling your noise pollution!
Happy 4th, America the Beautiful
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
