A Lover of Nature

As a nature-lover and frequent beach-goer, Douglas follows environmental efforts and sustainability closely. He lives in Hilton Head, South Carolina, where he enjoys traveling and outdoor activities. Douglas often reads news in regards to advancements in environmental protection and law. Using these maps, the Nature Conservatory hopes that the government will regulate areas where trade routes intersect with migratory patterns of sea life. The purpose of these maps is to make the public aware that it is indeed possible to continue economy-boosting trade routes while being mindful and protective of natural life. As resident of South Carolina, and living along the coast, Douglas hopes the release of these maps through the Nature Conservatory will increase environmental protective efforts for the native coastline, and improve the lives of Hilton Head residents. Additionally, with an understanding of the erosion and movement patterns of sand along the coast-line may help homeowners, city planners, and businesses to build in a way that reduces threats to coastal properties. Being a past member of the Parks and Leisure Association, Douglas works within his community to keep it looking beautiful for its residents.

Recently, the Nature Conservatory announced that they will be releasing maps of the South Atlantic - from North Carolina to the Florida Keys - which represent data gathered on the habits of ocean life. Communities will be able to plan for growth that allows for healthy productivity for both humans and wildlife. These maps will feature water depth, material, plants and animals on the ocean floor, and the migratory paths of whales and sea turtles. Douglas MacNeille hopes this is just the first of many improvements.

Expert Grilling Techniques with Attorney Douglas MacNeille

When he is not busy practicing law at his South Carolina law firm, Douglas MacNeille enjoys cooking at home and following Chicago sports teams. Though he loves dining out at restaurants near his home on Hilton Head Island, he is experienced and adventurous cook when the mood strikes. Some of his favorite meals are cooked outdoors on the grill, and he offers some expert grilling tips for like-minded foodies.

Gas vs. Charcoal: The age old debate of gas vs. charcoal burns on to this day. It may be beneficial to take into consideration that although charcoal gives grilled food a smokier, richer taste, it actually emits more carbon monoxide, making it a "dirtier" burn. Gas grills burn cleaner, but lack the unique flavor of charcoal.

Heat it First: Grills should always be preheated for up to 25 minutes before cooking. For high temperature cooking, the grill should be heated to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. If the grill is heated properly, the food will sear on contact and prevent sticking.

Marinate: According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, marinating meat does more than just adding flavor. The oils and spices used to marinate also protect the meat from carcinogenic compounds which tend to form on un-marinated meats.

Grill Basket: For healthy foods like vegetables, tofu, fish, fruits, etc - cooking them in a grill basket will keep them from falling through the grates. Foods will be perfectly cooked and have that grill flavor, and it's easier to monitor them.

Above all, Douglas MacNeille recommends making a healthy mix of vegetables, proteins, and grains to create the perfect home-cooked meal for you and your family.
