Global Basecamps Helps Reduce, Recyle, and Travel Sustainably
Chris Driver on July 13th, 2009Global Basecamps, one of our CarbonFree® partners, helps travelers set up trips that both maximize their experience and minimize the environmental impact of their travels. They are also preparing to launch a great new initiative that will help their customers to continue to reduce their carbon footprint through recycling.
Recently, Global Basecamps joined the International Mountain Explorers Connection. IMEC works to ensure equitable treatment for porters and guides on trekking and climbing routes on three continents. Global Basecamps also works closely with the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Program to help ensure that proper gear, wages and sleeping conditions are met by tour companies working on the mountain. As a part of this program, Global Basecamps will be working with their clients to recycle their used trekking gear with the Porters Alliance. You can read more about Global Basecamp’s involvement with IMEC and the Porter’s Assitance Project by clicking here. We commend Global Basecamps for their commitment to sustainability and to reducing what they can!

I am very much happy to know that GBC is actively involved with the International Ecotourism Society and also involved in the UN-MILLENNIUM PROJECT pledged 1% of all post-tax profits to the eradication of global poverty, hunger and disease in the third world by supporting the United Nations Millennium Project.
