Camping & Hiking

If your favorite place to relax is the great outdoors, you have a responsibility to tread lightly on the planet when you're out there enjoying the wilderness. Camping, fun as it can be, can also be taxing on resources because of all the synthetic materials that make up the gear. Eco-friendly camping gear is available, however, and it's an obvious choice for those who love nature. Go for eco-friendly camping gear from the ground up, starting with recycled hiking boots and continuing on to backpacks made from hemp and/or recycled materials. Eco-friendly camping gear isn't  just about what you wear, of course, and so we've got tents and sleeping bags made from recycled content too. Chances are you'll be able to find eco-friendly camping gear from all your favorite outdoor brands, with selections from big names like North Face, Sierra Designs and Teko.

Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
