We hear a lot of people say forget China glass. But then I start to think about the blowers out there that do not pay any taxes yet still use the system. Is it better to have China glass that has had taxes paid on it, or be an American that does not pay their share of taxes. ...read more

April 21, 2017 Photo via Pinterest For those of us who like to leave the road and take the trails, there is a pack for every adventure. On this Earth Day, Roll Dog Survival is joining more than 200 million people across the globe in an effort to reduce waste, increase recycling efforts and protect endangered lands. With Spring cleaning long overdue, we’re starting with our hiking and camping gear. Before you throw out your boots, tent or backpack, ask yourself, can this product serve another purpose? Is there a recycling program I can use? With every donation we can collectively make a big difference in our world. Here are 10 tips and sources for recycling old outdoor gear: Donate – Check with national and local gear retailers in your area. There is typically a donation list of hiking and camping gear that they will accept for resale or distribute to youth outdoor efforts. Freecycle.org – changing the world one gift at a time. Gift your used gear to family or friends who may need or are interested in outdoor sports. Nike Reuse-a-shoe program takes old sneakers and upcycles the material to be used on playgrounds, courts and athletic playing fields. Patagonia – if you own clothing from Patagonia that is beyond repair, you can mail in your apparel or drop it off at a store to be recycled into something new, or repurposed. Local nonprofits accept donation of clothing, boots, books, etc to earn money for their cause. Look up nonprofits in your area for drop-off locations. Many outdoor companies offer recycling programs. Contact the retailers or review their websites to learn more. Roll Dog Survival’s Outdoor Gear has a lifetime warranty and free return shipping. Recycle, upcycle, and repurpose – If you can think of new ways to use old gear, do it! My go-to for ideas on recycling or repurposing items is Pinterest. Search the items that you no longer have a need for and get inspiration on how you could repurpose that item. Torn tents can be made into grocery bags, purses, wallets, etc. Old hiking boots can be converted into planters for your garden. Snowboards and skis can be used as a swing seat, wine rack, fencing, shelves,... the possibilities are endless. Sell – The internet is filled with options to sale items you no longer have a use for.
