Green-X is a Footprint Free Expedition. We have and will try to minimise our environmental impact every step of our journey.
So far we have……
Cut down our single use plastic to practically zero through changing our packing methods and taking dried food that is not in individually packed expedition bags
Used sustainable materials wherever possible- Wooden skis, woolen tops, bamboo tooth brushes etc
Bought second hand wherever possible
Used only brands with excellent environmental credentials or who fit with our Footprint Free Ethos e.g. Paramo, Tent Meals, Nalgene
Minimised our travel impact wherever possible and tracked our carbon emissions so we can offset them through planting trees and working with the World Land Trust (https://www.worldlandtrust.org/)
