About this ebook
From bestselling author, lifelong campervanner and environmental campaigner Martin Dorey, an inspiring, practical handbook for camping ethically and sustainably.
Loving the outdoors means wanting to protect it. But how do we balance our passion for travel, campfires, and wild places with the urgent need to look after the planet?
The Green Camping Book is both a rallying cry and a usable guide to enjoying the great outdoors responsibly. Packed with tips, positive actions and realistic sustainable swaps, this book shows you the small changes you can make to your packing, travelling and camping that make a big difference to the green spaces you love, without stopping you having fun.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
· Choose and care for eco-friendly gear: How to buy sustainably, repair and upcycle existing kit, choose ethical clothing fabrics, and avoid single-use plastics.
· Camp with a light footprint: Master 'Leave No Trace' principles, chemical-free waste and grey water disposal, eco-conscious camp cooking, and planet-friendly personal care.
· Travel smarter and low-carbon: Tips on low-impact journey planning, electric campervan and public transport options, off-grid power options, and recommendations for certified green camping clubs
· Help clean up the community: Practical ways to leave nature better than you found it, from organising a quick #2MinuteLitterPick to supporting ongoing outdoor conservation.
Whether you're camping with a two-person tent, a camper van, or just a backpack, this essential guide makes sustainable adventuring easier, more rewarding, and more fun than ever.
