Camp footprint

How green are you at camp?

Find out with this camp footprint!

If you’ve eaten a sweet or finished a drink carton, what do you do with the packaging? I just drop it on the ground. Who cares At camp we never have sweets or drinks that come in separate packaging. I always put it in the right rubbish bin, even if I have to walk a bit. If there’s a rubbish bin nearby, I’ll throw it in there. Otherwise, I’ll put it on the grass for a bit, maybe I’ll clean it up later… if I don’t forget

How do you throw away your rubbish? We try to produce as little waste as possible. You can earn points with our group for that! All rubbish in the same bag. For us, it’s all just general waste. Super easy! We put our paper in a separate bin. We separate paper, glass and plastic. Just like the rubbish containers at the campgrounds.

What kind of light do you have at camp We don't need a lamp, we can see enough with the moonlight. Flashlight and lamps with disposable batteries Flashlight or headlamp with rechargeable batteries A lamp that you can charge with solar panels. An electrically rechargeable lamp

Do you ever have leftover food at camp? What do you do with it? Anyone who wants to take some home can have it. Cans of vegetables or packs of pasta go to our clubhouse. Or to the food bank. Anyone who wants to take some home can have it, the rest gets thrown away Throw it away because the food is gross. We never have leftovers, we buy just enough.

If something breaks at camp (your chair/your sleeping mat/your tent pole/…) What do you do then? Toss it away! Try to repair it or buy a new part. Hopefully it will be fine. Repair it and next time it happily comes along to camp again. Fix it with a roll of duct tape and throw it away after camp

How do you do the dishes? With eco-friendly dish soap in a washing up bowel; we throw the dirty hot water in the bushes. Under the running tap, with the cheapest dish soap. With eco-friendly dish soap in a washing up bowel; the water goes down the sink. We don't do the dishes because we use disposable plates, cups and cutlery.

How do you guys build a campfire? For us, everything is flammable: wet or dry wood, an old couch or painted cabinet, it doesn't matter. A bit of kerosene or firelighters and let it burn! We only use dry wood from the Netherlands. We light the fire with one match and keep our campfire small. We only use dry wood for our campfire. Although we do add a bit of kerosene, petrol or firelighters for convenience. We use dry wood. We light our fire with matches.

Do you guys ever eat vegetarian or vegan at camp? Never! No good camp without meat! Three times a week. Only vegetarian or vegan. Once a week.

How often do you shower during camp? Every day, nice! Once a week Taking a shower? No, we just go swiming Every other day

How did you travel to the campsite? With as many participants as possible in 1 car / bus / ship. Each participant came to the campsite in their 'own' car. By bike, walking or sailing. By public transport (train or bus) or by electric scooter.

Did you know?

By going to camp you’re doing well anyway! Just think abou tit: no heating, you learn about nature, you cook with a big group, you probably don’t shower as often as at home! And: You camp at one of the label sites that pay a lot of attention to sustainability.

Footprint??

By eating, living, buying and traveling, we use a piece of the Earth. How big that piece is is called the ecological footprint.
