If your going camping this summer or have already been here are some tips for your next trip about environmentally friendly things to do. Number one is buy a solar charger to charge your devices such as your phone and iPod. I would recommend the Solar Gorilla. I charges small devices like phones in a very short space of time. Although it won't work all that well when the sun isn't out.
Remember to use wood when your having a fire and try to use wood only. This is because wood is carbon zero. Another thing to take is biodegradable products such as some bags and bottles. This way you can dispose of the products without doing any harm to the environment. They normally dissolve or decompose but if they don't do this straight away don't put them on the camp fire. when using food and drinks containers check for the recycling sign. There probably won't be a recycling facility near by but you can take them home and recycle them then.
If the camp site is near where you live you can put everything in a rucksack and cycle to it. If the location isn't near where you live try to share transport with someone which will reduce fuel usage. If there's a bus route near to the place your going you can use that. This saves not only fuel but money and time as well. There are many things you might be able to think of to make your trip more environmentally friendly but here just a few to start you off. Please feel free to suggest any I've missed.
