Froggie!Taking Care of our Environment is so very important.  Without it we are nothing.  In today's day and age we hear so very much about be Carbon Neutral, keep our skies blue & go green.  But how much of it is really geared towards being a marketing promo and how much is geared towards truly making a difference.

Take for example the "We're Going Green" contest - where every ballot is paper and there are 100,000 of them - how green is that?

In caching it becomes an even more aspect as we as cachers tend to drive to each and every cache that we get and in some cases if a prize sounds like we want it - well we'll even go out of our way and add a higher carbon footprint in search of a chance for that prize.

Well in caching  I believe that we need to take responsibility and do our part for going green.  What does that mean in caching?  Well we all have our own views on this.  Mine are only mine - they are no more then that - my opinions - so what would be an "Carbon Neutral" way to cache in our view?

Being a Geocacher, adventurer on a 4x4 or a hiker means being responsible for oJordy's Scary Deerur environment. 

This means ensuring to reduce our impact when possible, as well as taking ownership, accountability & stewardship for areas.  This means repairing damage or cleaning it up even when we didn’t do it.

This can be done through many way’s including CITO (Cache In Trash Out), always leave an area cleaner then when you came.  This can be done through always carrying garbage bags with you – you know those grocery store bags!

 

It also can be done through acting responsible, if you must bushwhack do it with forethought & caring.  If you are using a 4x4 stay on the designated trail, don’t drive or quad to a sensitive place.  Ensure not to drive over any sensitive area such as abandoned structures or remains.  When you visit a location don’t take artefacts.  They may look appealing but what would happen if everyone did.
