Start Drinking... for the Environment.

This is one action that most of you will definitely enjoy and will probably use as an excuse to your parents when going out with friends to drink alcohol.

Here are a few tips from Norton's (2007) book:

1. Reduce your beer miles. Support your local beer brewer and local gin/vodka distiller. Drink local and home-grown drinks.

2. Choose bottles of wine that have natural cork stoppers. Oak corks biodegrade. The oak cork woodlands in Portugal and Spain produce over 80% of natural cork, These woodlands support a huge population of wildlife and they are at risk of being felled to create even more intensively farmed field when they no longer fulfill an economic purpose.

3. Recycle all your bottles and cans.

4. Buy organic beer and wine.

5. Drink real ale, and keep traditional breweries in business. And why not brew your own?

Here's a website that can help you get your own beer brewing: Brew Your Own

HAPPY BREWING in 2013 and make a difference to the world! :)

Yeah-uh! Ahoy you beer drinkers!
