Going green is just good business!
Going green is just good business! At Campers Village, we’re committed to transforming our company into an entity that protects the very places that our business thrives upon. And, since it’s our mission to help people enjoy their adventures outdoors, we feel compelled to do what we can to keep our beautiful planet it in a healthier state.
When it comes to being better…at anything, it’s the little things that make the difference. In an effort to become more environmentally conscious, we started small. Trivial actions turning off our computers and office lights at the end of the day and recycling all of our paper, cardboard, aluminum pop cans and juice tetra paks, are simple and easy steps we have taken to start making a positive change in our businesses ecological footprint.
We have created a fun, reusable bag for our customers, and encourage them to recycle the plastic bags we offer for smaller purchases. Of course, customers can always choose to not use a bag at all!
Many of our staffers ride their bikes or use public transport to get to work.
On a bigger scale, we have replaced all the lights in our store with energy efficient bulbs. We sell quality, durable products that last for many years, negating the “throw away” mentality that is ever-present in our consumerist culture. Further, we have active repair departments in both stores to revive outdoor gear and other items; products last longer, and fewer materials are wasted, ending up in the land fill.
Many of our suppliers are ‘greening’ themselves, offering products made from sustainable resources, and using sustainable practices. Outdoor enthusiasm and eco-smart fabrics go hand-in-hand. Eco-fabrics are sustainable products that promote healthy communities. At Campers Village, you’ll find clothing and gear made from soybean, hemp, bamboo, organic cotton, merino and recycled fabrics. Some of the brands at the front of this movement include: |
