Water usage when camping
When camping, protect campsite water sources from contamination by never washing dishes, clothes or yourself in them. Use a basin and a small amount of biodegradable soap for washing chores. Dump wastewater in a hole at least twenty-five yards from waterways.


Low-mpg vehicles
If you have an RV, camper van or other low-mpg recreational vehicle that you take on long trips, offset its gas usage and emissions by driving a ULEV (Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle) for everyday driving and driving less when it makes sense.
