3 Ways to Green Your Canoeing Trip

Canoeing is among the most popular activities to do on the water out there

But not necessarily all the green ones: as eco-friendly an activity as it already is, there are still ways that you can go the extra mile to make sure your next canoeing trip is especially environmentally sound.

1.Buy eco-friendly gear like these personal floatation devices from Patagonia. They're made from environmentally friendly PVC-free foam.

2.Unless you have the patience to build a canoe out of used chopsticks, or you're an avid canoe aficionado, rent or buy a used one

3.Improve your paddling with eco-friendly accessories, like this Paddle Grip Kit from Kayak Habit. It's completely non-toxic, and made from recycled rubber.
