Green Caravanning is the Way to Go!

Most caravanners assume that they are already doing their bit for the environment by choosing a caravan and not a hotel room to stay in, but they are not aware that they can actually do a lot more. By following a few safety rules, caravanners can help not only themselves but also the environment.

Caravanners can choose a green park instead of just another camping ground to holiday in. They can also follow some of these tips to protect the environment:

Choose to wear double layers of clothing instead of using heating

Avoid placing excess baggage on the roof racks, because this will increase wind resistance and cause your vehicle to consume more fuel.

Shut down appliances when you are not actually using them.

Drive only at a steady pace; this will help conserve fuel.

Make sure the caravan is in excellent condition and that it does not emit smoke and fumes

Choose to use low energy lights, or solar energy powered equipment whenever possible

Choose to recycle everything that is used

Choose to only eat food that is locally produced.

Remember; no matter what we do, there must be a better way to do it, if only we could save the environment by doing so.
