Roughing it the green way
With fall coming around, these are some of the best months to go camping. Not as many bugs, slightly cooler days - the great outdoors is calling, can you hear it?

However, some of the traditional things people think about doing when they camp aren't exactly environmentally friendly. For instance, the Boy Scouts of America urge you to go without a campfire.
"Some people would not think of camping without a campfire. Yet the naturalness of many areas has been degraded by overuse of fires and increasing demand for firewood."

There are also many more resources and information on how to "Leave No Trace" at the Leave No Trace website and the Boy Scouts website also gives some great tips too.

One great alternative could be the Littlebug Stove, which can be easily set up to use alcohol or wood. It's also very compact, and hangable so you can stand up and cook more comfortably.
