Take a teardrop and leave the generator at home. Tony

450 watts of solar on my teardrop covers all my needs. The 3 solar panels is the roof.

You're probably right...

But cooking flank steak over buffalo 'chips' is kind of symbolic for recycling.

That can make a big difference in resource use. It's difficult to change but it can be done. I speak from experience.

I think most of us have been taught to leave "borrowed things" better than we found them. We "borrow" the earth and all the surroundings from nature; so, it follows that, whether you're hiking or swimming or simply camping, leave the area better than you found it. Or, if it's already pristine, leave it that way.

If only that principle had been more widely and deeply embedded in the ethics of our dominant cultures, earlier on in our species' development.

Don't they count as meat?

A clothes dryer is a huge energy hog. Dry your clothes on a line and save. I have clothes on the line as I type this.

We’re deep in the desert and left both the washer and dryer home.



Nary a current bush in site, anywho.

According to the Soylent corporation, it's the green solution.

Hundreads on things we can do and none of them are important.

Yes, paper plates are biodegradable, but not in a trash bag. I also ate plastic none reusable bottles.and also think that when we travel and camp, we do leave a carbon footprint, we do leave less that those huges RV, either by the ressources they required to be built and manufacture, but also by the ressource they need while traveling and camping on location. And that is propably the shadow of the owners houses and other vehicule.

As for Disney's resort and other similar parks, and resorts hotel around the globe, (And I do love disney, even at nearly 50 years of age) but they are in my mind, they have the largest carbon foot print outhere. Think about it. Those place are built for the only purpose of plaesure and enjoyment. Customer travel often by plane to get there, witch is half of any familly carbon emission for a full year, nothing is built or really created, but fun and emotions.

So I would say, do your best, no simple gesture is negligeable, try to reuse as much as possible ( I am even think of carying my llate at my ski resort where they use paper plate). I already bring a resuable bottle instaed of getting one of those paper cup at the juice fountain). Carry you reusable thermos cup at the coffee shop instead on using any disposable, recyclebale container, make sure that your bear bottle and can will go i. The recycling bin and yes, you might have to carry some of those back home on to some other location. But since you did carry them in, you can carry them out.

Do you have to chane your towing or any vehicule every few years, do you have to purchase a new one? A vehicule can now live and work easely for up to 10 years and hundreads of thousands of miles. Even a use vehicule leave less carbon foot print that purchasing a new one to often, new car manufacturing create so much carbon and polution. If you purchase a used vehicule, your carbon foot print for that vehicule is basicaly zero. Leaving only the operating stage of it.

Food for toughts!

"Food for thought" One example of a "common" camping item that I don't think has been mentioned here yet??, and that I see being used that is so "wasteful" - yet can be -"so"- avoided when camping and that is - "Disposable Propane Bottles" And yes!! buying a 1 or 2.5 gallon tank is an $$expensive$$ item to also purchase, BUT when you figure this against the cost of buying the disposable ones (which are 'also' so "$$$$" and keep rising^^even more in $$!!) and being able to re-use a 'bulk' tank for a minimum of 12 years once purchased - the pay back can be a "very" fast $$$ return along with the cost of buying 'bulk' propane being so much cheaper per 'gallon' (not per '0.25' gallon spent$$$!! along with the buying of bottles that end up 'just' being tossed in the 'garbage' - and not even re-cycled!!) - just a thought or two.................... ( a 1 gallon tank = 4 disposable bottles / 2.5 gallon tank = 10 disposable ones and being used over and over again.................................)

I guess I have the disposable propane canister covered. I use a diesel parking heater (burning kerosene) for heat and a old kampcook cook stove. The kamp kook I have found can use kerosene if preheated (a little E85 poured on top of the burner). So in the end I have no throw away fuel containers.
