Green Tip of the Day

Camping is the perfect time to enjoy nature and get some exercise. Here are a few tips to maintain the integrity of your favorite spot:

“Pack in, pack out” by making sure to bring out any waste that you bring in. Leave no trace behind, and recycle what you can when your trip is over.

If you’re going to purchase new equipment, look for sleeping bags, clothing and other products made from recycled materials.

Bring reusable dishes and silverware, rather than disposable items. They may not be recyclable and create unnecessary waste.

Borrow camping equipment from friends and family. By trading and sharing, you reduce your group’s need for gear that you may not use on a regular basis.
