Zero-Waste Tricks for Summer Camping Enthusiasts

Going camping is one of the most beloved activities in the US. In fact, camping trips are becoming more and more popular with millennials and the younger generation. After all, it helps us reconnect with nature and releases pent-up stress.

Many Americans are ready to pack their camping gear and set out into the great outdoors. Unfortunately, this also means plastic littered on camping sites.

This blog post will be your guide to zero-waste camping trips with the help of eco-friendly reusable bags.

Pre-Plan Your Camping Trip

It’s critical that you pre-plan your trip. This will help you be prepared and pack accordingly. Some camping grounds provide facilities such as flushing toilets, showers, cookhouses, etc. However, other grounds only offer outhouses. If you research the area, you’ll already know the facilities to work with as well as the rules.

Remember that backcountry camping takes place in areas without service. This means that no one will clean up your trash. Not only do you have to bring hygiene supplies but also be ready to clean everything before you leave.

Make Smart Food Choices

Unfortunately, most people today pack premade backpacking meals or other packaged food. As a result, these packages are left in the wilderness where they impact the environment and wildlife. That’s why you need to make smart choices when it comes to food.

Prepare for your trip by pre-making your meals and storing them in reusable or biodegradable containers. Not only will homemade meals be a sustainable choice, but they’d also be cheaper and healthier.

Don’t forget to pack reusable cutlery, plates, cups, and cooking gear.

Utilize Reusable Bags

Bringing plastic bags to carry their things is one of the biggest mistakes campers make. These bags are more likely to be carried away by wind currents due to their light weight. As a result, they’d degrade in the natural environment and turn into microplastics. Once that happens, they’d be carried to even the most remote places and put our ecosystem at risk.
