Spending time outdoors has many benefits, but sometimes it’s nice to hear about good news from outdoor companies that give back. I’m going to try to share that information with our readers once a week. After doing a little digging, I was a bit surprised at all the companies I found that give back in different ways. From water conservation and providing clean drinking water solutions, providing opportunities to get outdoors to under-represented groups to working to develop products that are made from recycled materials, or made to be easily recycled. It is really uplifting to read about companies, big and small that give back in ways that benefit so many people.
Talking about good news from outdoor companies:
First up, since if you’d like to attend, you might need some notice. Yeti is presenting Stories from the Wild in a multi-city film tour, showcasing unreleased films about the outdoors. Yeti’s products are ‘Built for the Wild’ and their films ‘come from the wild’. All proceeds go towards helping to preserve wild spaces. The first showing is in Colorado on January 29th. I plan on attending the showing in Somerville, MA on March 25th.
Each stop will feature seven unreleased films that capture the unbreakable human spirit, ambassador visits, and raffles for YETI products.
The supported causes include:
