Staying Green While RVing

Good for you, you’ve taken the first and incredibly necessary steps to making our planet a better place to live for our children and children’s children. You are recycling, carpooling, re-using household items, turning off lights, growing a small garden, and overall being aware of the carbon footprint that you are leaving behind. But thankfully just because you are going away for the weekend, the week, or even full time RV living doesn’t mean you have to give up on all of your earth friendly efforts!

One of the biggest contributions we can make to our planet is to recycle. So often with limited space such as an RV people do not make this a priority but it really is easy to still do. Many of the recyclable items will flatten out and you simple designate part of a storage compartment for your items to be recycled. This will undoubtedly help cut down on your garbage output but it will also help alleviate over-consumption.

Saving energy while you are RVing is also another important step in the fight against pollution. Just as you do when you are at home make sure you turn off lights, tv’s, and all electronics when you are not using them. Encourage your family to do things outdoors or that don’t require energy such as reading, board games, or hiking. This is just another example of a win-win situation with green living. Not only does it assist in your environmental wellness but it gets kids outside and moving instead of glued to the TV.

These are just a few easy ways to stay green and still enjoy your time while traveling. There are many other ways to help reduce your carbon footprint and still travel in an RV and we’d love to hear any tips that you have!

Embracing the Giving Season

All too often as we drive off an interstate exit ramp, through a busy intersection, or into a populated city we see a person standing off to the side holding a sign that says something to the effect of being homeless or hungry and to please help. And while I always want to set a good example for my kids I sometimes don’t have any cash on me or feel awkward about just handing money out when I’m not 100% sure where it is going.

homeless-manSo I was very excited when I came across this wonderful idea of blessing bags. What it entails is getting a large ziploc bag or grocery bag and filling it with essential items. These can range from deodorant, granola bars, to soap, toothpaste, fruit cups, and bottled water. It is a great thing to get the kids to help put together so they feel involved in the process. I try to keep 4-5 of these at least in my car at all times and more when we are planning a trip.

Now instead of giving money I am able to give something that I know will help. I feel like this is a great way to make a difference and teach my children about the importance of giving.
