The Green RVer -
How can you be a green RVer? We have some suggestions.
Big or small - there are ways we can make life greener. Here are a few suggestions, which some of you may already be doing (thank you!). Do you have worthy ideas? Please share them with us. . .
- During nice weather open windows that are on opposite walls to bring in fresh air and create cross-ventilation.
- Use cleaning products that are eco-friendly and pet-friendly. These emit fewer or even zero VOCs.
- Designate an area for items that can be recycled.
- Ask about and seek out RV's that will conform to industry-consensus standards for green production techniques, renewable resources and healthy materials.
- Use green practices when you're on the road or in camp.
- Use LED lights when possible. They last longer and use less energy.
- Consider solar panels as an energy source. You can even use solar capable portable regerator/freezer units.
- Conserve water and save money by turning off the water while brushing your teeth, and don't leave the water running while you are washing dishes.
- Check out eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free holding tank treatments.
