Go Green Camping this Summer!
By Dawn Kubicek on 21st June, 2010
Entrepreneur Alain Dominique Perrin recently launched a luxury campsite with ecological leanings on an exclusive French Island. He cheekily called it original camping, as if he can brand the tradition of sleeping under canvas.
Camping has lots of non-branded sustainable prefixes - low-impact, no-impact, wild, and leaves no trace using the natural environment as a temporary home but is a fast track way to destroy it.
Whilst building Decorated Shed's garden studios sustainable design, material and environmental care is a must in all cases.
Researchers have found lower vegetation growth rates and depleted soils three years after camping has ended on a site.
It is a must to never bin rubbish, use the site toilets, utilise wood already on the ground to make fires and do not take your toiletries. Shampoo, toothpaste and shower gel all contain chemicals toxic to aquatic life.
Most formative camping this summer will be at music festivals where cleaning teams are faced with hundreds of abandoned radios and nylon tents. On average 2000 tents are left at Reading and Leeds festivals.
You could go for a Soulpad canvas bell tent and similarly Belltent has beautiful canvas and wood tents and good information on low-impact camping.
For the complete wild camping guide go to MCOFS.
