Leave No Trace Campers Guide



Festival season is upon us. Leave No Trace will be representing all of our supporters at the Telluride Bluegrass Fest this weekend. Here are a few tips on how to make your experience as sustainable as possible.

Leave-No-Trace Campers Guide

  • Minimize the amount of packaging; avoid buying over-packaged goods and individual portion packs
  • Buy durable products, returnable bottles and containers that can be re-filled
  • Look out for recycled goods and those packaged in recycled materials
  • Cut down on packaging by buying your fruit and vegetables loose
  • Buy fair-trade and organic food, drinks and products at stalls if possible
  • Use re-sealable containers to keep your food fresh (this reduces the amount of plastic film and aluminum foil you throw away)
  • Use rechargeable batteries
  • Recycle what you cannot reuse
  • Car share or use public transport
  • Turn off taps & showers when finished
  • Live by the 'LEAVE NO TRACE' philosophy
If you are attending the Telluride Bluegrass Festival this year, stop by the Leave No Trace booth and say hi. Also don't forget to sign up for the Campsite challenge!
