We may see ourselves as 'Earth Advocaters' but how Earth friendly is your life? We encourage to always make a conscious effort to improve your carbon footprint while backpacking whether it be taking on more weight of reusable water bottles or using a pee cloth to avoid depositing more toilet paper in the backcountry. Here are ways to improve your carbon footprint at home!


ree

Utilize reusable water bottles and at home water filters

Washable cloth towels instead of paper towels

Wool dryer balls over dryer sheets

Stasher food bags & bees wraps for food storage replaces plastic wrap

Start a composting bin

Utilize farmer's markets for fresh produce & local products

Walk more!

Car pool to trailhead

Reduce meat and dairy consumption & purchase from local ethical sources

Thrift clothing & furniture

Use wool based clothing over manufactured clothing (synthetic)

Keep honey bees!

Consider energy efficient or fully electric cars over traditional cars on your next purchase



Remember:

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

before considering the trash can
