Some Good Camping Tips for Natural Environment

Canada has good camping sites in conservation areas.

My family goes camping every summer, so I would like to introduce some good camping tips for protecting the natural environment.

First, I suggest, don’t bring disposable paper dishes or dixie cups. Camping at conservation areas can be a good natural education for your child or family. How about showing your good habits for the natural environment to your child? Your child will get a good impression about that.

Second, don’t use artificial detergent to wash your dishes at conservation areas. If you need to wash oily dishes, boil some water and put hot water in the dishes.  After that, wipe the dishes with paper towels. The dishes will be clean, and you can gather the dirty water in a plastic bottle.

Third, when you go into the tent to sleep at night, keep all organic garbage or kitchen tools in the car because wild animal might visit your site. We don’t know what would happen if wild animals ate our seasoned food, how they would react to it.

Forth, when you leave there, don’t leave anything at your site. Most camping sites have garbage and recycling bins; therefore, sort the garbage following the rules.  Especially, don’t dispose of used propane gas bottles with the general garbage because the leftover gas might make a fire.

Finally, I would like to tell you, respect all natural creatures including plants.  Remember, if you get something from nature, return it ten more times.
