Earth Day - Do Your Part
April 21, 2023BEING RESPONSIBLE DOESN’T MEAN BORING
When it comes to off-roading, there's nothing quite like the thrill of exploring new trails and pushing your vehicle to its limits. But as any experienced driver knows, with great power comes great responsibility. That's where Goats Trail comes in. As the only Wisconsin-based off-road apparel company that supports the Tread Lightly! mission, we're committed to preserving the natural beauty of our trails for future generations to enjoy.
As a planet, we face some of our time's most significant environmental challenges. Climate change, pollution, and deforestation are just a few of the issues threatening our planet's sustainability. Earth Day is a global event celebrated annually on April 22nd to raise awareness and encourage people to take action to protect our environment. One of the central themes of Earth Day is the Tread Lightly! mission, which aims to promote sustainable practices that reduce our impact on the environment.
The Tread Lightly! Mission
The Tread Lightly! mission is all about educating people on responsible outdoor recreation practices. The mission aims to promote environmental stewardship and encourage people to reduce their impact on the environment. The organization offers education and outreach programs that help people understand the impact of their actions on the environment and how they can reduce their impact.
One of the key principles of the Tread Lightly! mission is to respect the environment. This means that people should be mindful of their impact on the environment and take steps to reduce it. For example, people can reduce their impact by staying on designated trails, avoiding sensitive habitats, and properly disposing of waste.
Another principle of the Tread Lightly! mission is to respect other users. This means that people should respect other people's right to enjoy the outdoors. People should also be mindful of the impact of their actions on other users. For example, people should avoid making excessive noise and keep their pets on a leash.
"TREAD LIGHTLY! KEEPS AMERICA’S OUTDOOR RECREATION AREAS BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY, AND ACCESSIBLE"
Our actions can have a significant impact on the environment. For example, we can disturb wildlife and damage habitats when we go camping. When we go hiking, we can damage trails and cause erosion. When we go off-roading, we can damage vegetation and cause soil erosion.
It is essential that we take responsibility for our actions and reduce our impact on the environment. We can do this by making small changes in our everyday lives, such as reducing our energy consumption, using public transportation, and recycling. We can also make sustainable fashion choices. At Goats Trail, we're not just another off-road clothing brand. We're a team of passionate individuals who care deeply about the planet we call home. That's why we've made it our mission to support Tread Lightly! and provide our customers with sustainable fashion.
Goats Trail Sustainable Fashion Practices
What does that mean exactly? Well, for starters, we don't believe in waste. That's why we've committed to recycling 100% of our fabric, cutting scraps into fiber that we use to create new products. That's right, we're closing the loop on textile waste and doing our part to reduce our environmental impact.
And that's not all. We're proud to say that 84% of our total waste is recycled or repurposed. We're constantly looking for new ways to minimize our impact, from using eco-friendly dyes to reducing our carbon footprint throughout production.
But here's the thing - we can't do it alone. We need your help to make a real difference. By choosing Goats Trail, you're not just buying clothing. You're joining a movement for a more sustainable future. You're showing the world that fashion can be beautiful and responsible at the same time.
