Sustainable Waste Disposal
Proper waste disposal is crucial for maintaining the integrity of nature. If no restroom facilities are available, opt for a sealable wag bag to pack out human waste, ensuring that even toilet paper is disposed of responsibly. Biodegradable soaps should not be used directly in natural water sources, as they can disrupt ecosystems. Instead, wash using a collapsible sink and dispose of soapy water at least 200 feet away from water sources.
