Green Briefs: Backyard Campfires

Avoid burning trash in your backyard fire pit.  Printed paper, cardboard and plastics release clouds of harmful chemicals when burned, turning your cheerful campfire into a toxic incinerator.  Limit your burn pile to leaves, dry weeds, sticks, and other organic material that might not break down in your compost bin.
