-- Eco-Tip --

Paper milk carton or waxed drink cups often attained through corner stores and fast-food outlets are not recyclable, and are not easily composted, but they can be reused to make a convenient campfire starter. Cut 1/2” – 1” wide strips and stack them together. Poke a whole through them and use that hole to lace recycled natural-fiber string through. When you are ready to use, curl the strips around your fingers, then fan out and place in the center of your fire. Keep a few of these (clean of course) in your camping gear and emergency kit. In case of an emergency, people would be grateful they had the foresight to stow away some compact fire starters.
