For many car campers (and backpackers!) it\u2019s not uncommon to depart your campsite with a trash bag or two full of waste. Even if we make our best effort at home to reduce our environmental impact, it’s easy to let those good habits slide while packing for a car camping trip<\/a>. Single-use items like paper plates, plastic utensils, and plastic water bottles may be convenient, but they’re not necessary, and the amount of harm they cause the environment simply isn’t worth it. Plus, how many times have you driven to a campsite and found the garbage bin overflowing with trash, or even worse, found entire garbage bags of trash dumped by the bathrooms? So let’s all do our part to reduce waste while camping – we promise it doesn’t have to be hard.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re always looking for ways to recreate more responsibly, reduce our environmental impact, and leave the outdoors better than we found it, and reducing waste while camping whether in a tent or camper van (and really in our everyday lives) is a big one. Whether it\u2019s disposable utensils, plastic bottled drinks, or excess packaging, there\u2019s probably more in our trash bags than there needs to be (guilty as charged!). Together we can make small changes to reduce the trash we make, which is not only better for our planet, but less hassle to deal with on your camping trip as well.<\/p>\n
