Earth Day 2011 – Go Green!
Whether you’re an RVer or a tent camper, keeping the outdoors beautiful is an important part of your camping experience. On April 22, celebrate your home on the road, with Earth Day 2011. How can you do your part on going green?
- Leave the wilderness as you found it!
- Unplug and spend your time in nature by hiking, swimming, exploring, reading, or playing board games.
- Save gas! Plan your drives in advance, run all your errands at one time, accelerate slower.
- Purchase eco-friendly and biodegradable camping gear and picnic supplies.
- Use citronella candles instead of insect repellent.
- Use environmentally friendly RV products, such as Nature-Zyme, which promote organic and biodegradable ingredients (visit www.nature-zyme.com).
Do your part to make our world greener and make sure to celebrate Earth Day!
Hang On…
