It\u2019s hot hot hot. Literally . . . <\/span>and it\u2019s just about to arrive at Ethical Superstore. It\u2019s the charcoal you need for some proper green grillin\u2019 this summer. <\/span><\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s that time of year already: the season of the sausage – barbecued<\/strong> that is – and this year\u2019s hot topic is how to barbecue ethically<\/strong>. It\u2019s not only meat versus meat-free sausages that ignites debate – there is the barbecue charcoal<\/strong> to consider if you want to achieve some proper green grillin\u2019.<\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, the UK imports over 90 per cent of its barbecue charcoal<\/strong>, and many of these imported charcoals<\/strong> are not FSC<\/strong> certified, which means there is no guarantee they aren\u2019t responsible for the deforestation of virgin tropical forests and endangered mangroves. <\/span><\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

But bag yourself a sack of UK charcoal<\/strong> this summer, and not only is it estimated that CO2 emissions are reduced by 85 per cent compared to imported charcoal<\/strong>, but make it FSC<\/strong> and you can guarantee you are supporting well-managed woodlands and the species that live within them. The <\/span>pearl-bordered fritillary – the UK\u2019s fastest declining butterfly species – will thank you for it, not to mention the nightingale and dormouse who all thrive in well-managed, coppiced woodlands. <\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s largely down to the whiz kids at BioRegional<\/a> who have raised the bar for ethical living<\/strong> yet again. Establishing a unique network of charcoal<\/strong> suppliers from woodlands up and down the UK, small producers of their FSC<\/strong> certified HomeGrown charcoal<\/strong> can supply direct to <\/span>retailers like Ethical Superstore, and the charcoal<\/strong> can be sourced as local as possible to distribution centres, reducing transport considerably.* <\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hot stuff. Literally. Made from British hardwoods, HomeGrown charcoal<\/strong> burns hotter for longer, is easy to light and ready in just 15 minutes. No need for firelighters, it leaves your food untainted and is additive-free. And a<\/span> little goes a long way – a 3kg bag is equivalent to 4kg of lumpwood charcoal<\/strong> – making economic sense too. <\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

So, whatever you are barbecuing<\/strong> this summer, don’t put the ethics on a backburner, bag yourself some wood that does good. <\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

BioRegional FSC certified HomeGrown<\/span><\/strong><\/a> charcoal<\/strong> <\/a>is available now from EthicalSuperstore.com<\/a>, priced \u00a35.99 for 3kg.<\/o><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
