RV Earth Day

Posted by Thomas Alan Gray Apr 22, 2009

April 22, Earth Day, marks the beginning of what the Earth Day Network calls The Green Generation Campaign leading up to the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. The campaign has, among its major goals,

• "A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.
• An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption."

RV enthusiasts will be able to take part and meet these goals by

• Keeping the RV in good maintenance so it runs as well as possible
• Camping more and travelling less (stay in one spot for a few days longer)
• Using solar panels to recharge the batteries
• Practicing "low impact" camping, and restoring a boondock site to as close to as original condition as possible
• Following the Three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Attending Green RV Seminars at RV Rallies.

Please email me your green RV ideas and photos. All ideas and images will be attributed to their authors.

Happy earth day.
