A Sustainable Kitchen Is Just a Keg Away!

I've just come to realize that there's no way one can be a dedicated birder without being a dedicated environmentalist: if you care about birds, you have to care about how your actions affect the lives and well-being of birds. Anyone who goes on some rarities chase in a Hummer while leaving all the lights and appliances on at their Irvine McMansion is in serious denial at best and is a gross hypocrite at worst.

Granted, there is some minor sacrifice involved in adopting a greener lifestyle (such as the tiny effort of sorting and recycling one's trash—just suck it up and do it already!) But worry not, it's not all sackcloth and ashes for bird lovers: as a recent posting on Chowhound.com observes, one environmentally-friendly lifestyle change involves getting your beer in a keg instead of in bottles or cans!

Bottoms up!
