Recycling saves natural resources,
landfill space,
and energy. Making new aluminum cans from
melted recycled cans consumes just 5 % of
the energy it takes to make one from scratch!
Keep campfires small to minimize the amount of ash and pollution. Don't
put anything into the fire pit that will not burn, such as plastics,
foils, and metals. Observe fire rules, which may change each day with
weather conditions.
Roadside litter isn’t just ugly to look at.
About 80 % of the trash in the world’s oceans
originates from sources on land, much of it
litter washed into streams from roadside runoff.
This harms our aquatic ecosystems, and can
result in death for freshwater and marine life.
Keep small trash bags in your rv & car and a bag
to collect your recyclables.
Forty-two percent of all wood harvested for industrial
uses goes to paper production. Making paper also uses
lots of water and produces lots of greenhouse gases.
By using less paper, you'll reduce your impact on world
forests and freshwater resources.
Leave campground showers, the dump station,
and the campsite as clean as you found them.
