I know that it can be annoying to constantly be reminded of something, but if you’re basically already doing it when you’re camping, what’s the big deal? The great majority of campers – regardless if they’re in a tent or a pop up camper, a travel trailer or a motorhome – whenever they’re out camping will make sure that their camping checklist has them removing their debris from the campsite so that it is clean and ready for the next RV or tent. That’s just common courtesy in a campground, but it also falls into the category of keeping things “green”. Beyond the courtesy aspect, it’s also a lot less work to set up in your campsite if you don’t have clean up someone else’s mess.

It takes a lot of effort to think and do green so you're definitely not being lazy. In addition to using rechargeable batteries because they are better for the environment (less of them in the landfill)... did you know that these types of batteries can be recycled for free through the nonprofit program, Call2Recycle? They list participating drop-off locations at www.call2recycle.org. They are usually retail stores one would buy rechargeable batteries or cordless electronic products (RadioShack, Lowe's, Office Depot, Home Depot, Best Buy).
