Please don't send
emails about how road trips are not eco-friendly. My
intent with the Keepin' It Green page is not to make an
environmental statement but to show that you can be
eco-conscious while on the road. It is easy to do your
part at home but we often let those things slide when we hit the
road.

Simple Ideas for
Keepin' It Green on the road
- NO bottled water... tap
water is all good. If water has a dirty taste, a water
filter system like Brita works great and is quite cheap. I use
it at home so why not on the road.
- Reuse bagged ice
instead of dumping it when it melt. Keep bagged ice clean and
ready to use as water in a water storage bag with a sealing key
closure.

- Recycle. Keep
recyclables until you find a recycle bin.
- Solar Power for things
like a laptop, radio, and the list goes on. If you are off
camping for days and use a car charger for your laptop the car needs
to be running. There are portable solar power packs out there
for around $150 that will do the trick. Who knows what other
uses your will come up with for it as well.

- Tupperware is a fantastic way to
store dry goods. We tend to buy food items in single serving
sizes when we are on the road. Tupperware is convenient, and easy
to clean.
- Reuse newspaper bags for dog
poo bags. If you are preparing for a big trip start saving
newspaper bags or have friends and family stock up for you.
