Celebrating the Brands Helping Us Protect Our Playground
Here at Little Trekkers, we believe Earth Day isn’t just one day of the year, it’s every day. Whether we’re splashing through puddles, hiking muddy trails, or building dens in the woods, we know one thing for sure: the great outdoors is our playground. And just like any playground, it deserves love, care, and protection.
That’s why we’re incredibly proud to partner with brands that go the extra mile to preserve the planet for future generations of wild-hearted explorers.
Kelty: A Brand That’s Always Had Nature in Mind
You might know Kelty for their brilliant, bomb-proof gear, but did you know they were one of the founding members of the Conservation Alliance all the way back in 1989? Alongside the likes of Patagonia, Kelty recognised early on that outdoor brands have a responsibility to protect the very places we all love to explore.
Fast forward to today, and 97% of the products @keltybuilteurope offers are recycled, recyclable, or made from sustainable materials. Pretty amazing, right? And they’re not stopping there, they’re actively working on improving the remaining 3%, because they know that every step counts when it comes to protecting the planet.
Sierra Designs: Designing With the Earth in Mind
Kelty’s sister brand, Sierra Designs, is also doing incredible things when it comes to sustainability. Not only are they part of the Conservation Alliance too, but their passion for the planet even makes its way into their design choices.
Take their popular Meteor 3000 tent, for example. Its eye-catching colour scheme wasn’t just chosen at random, it was inspired by the Earth Day flag itself, in a beautiful tribute to the cause.
Why It Matters
From using ethical down and recycled fabrics to reducing water usage in production, brands like Kelty and Sierra Designs are proving that outdoor gear can be both high-performance and kind to the environment.
We know the world of technical equipment can be a tricky space for sustainability, but we’re proud to say that the gear we stock reflects a real commitment to doing better. Because when it comes to our planet, good enough just isn’t good enough.
Thank You for Helping Us Protect the Planet
When you shop with Little Trekkers, you’re not just gearing up for adventure, you’re supporting brands who are serious about sustainability. And that means the world (literally!) to us.
So this Earth Day, let’s keep raising the next generation of eco-adventurers-curious, wild, and full of care for the world around them.
Happy adventuring, The Little Trekkers Team !
