As hikers, runners, climbers and skiers, we love our planet. We want to keep it healthy so that we can keep enjoying the trails, and our land, water and air remains clean for future generations. From caring for our gear to extend its lifespan to picking up trash on the trails and recycling kit when it’s reached the end of its life, we think making our footprint as light as possible is important. That’s why Earth Day is a big deal to us.
But what exactly is Earth Day anyway? It rolls around once a year, everyone starts calling out greenwashing on social media and your local yoga studio probably has a special Earth Day class – but what are the actual origins and intention of the event? Is it a protest or a celebration? Should you be out marching or is it all purely notional?
