Most people who like going on camping and adventure trips are nature lovers. Unfortunately many such people, advertently or inadvertently end up harming Mother Nature on these trips. This happens when people use products that harm the earth. Apart from using polluting fuels, burning wood and littering camping areas with plastic, some campers and backpackers also litter up camping spaces with things that do not naturally degrade fast.



Many campers leave behind paper and cloth on camping sites either by mistake or because they think that they will biodegrade fast. However, in an era when everything is mixed with something or the other, even paper and cloth do not degrade fast. A mere piece of paper that is used for wrapping food undergoes several chemical treatments that makes it tough for bacteria to degrade it fast and these things then keep on spoiling the beauty of camp sites for months on end. As a responsible camper, it is your duty to try and carry stuff on your camping and backpacking expeditions that degrades fast naturally and is not an eyesore for other campers.

One such product is Lightload towels. These towels have been specially created for the environment conscious camper and backpacker. They are manufactured out of 100% plant cellulose and degrade very fast. Their high glucose content ensures that herbivores and bacteria love them as food. In order to get rid of a Lightload towel, all you will need to do is bury it in the soil. Even if you drop one accidentally while backpacking, you do not have to worry about your towel littering up the environment, because it will decompose very fast. If you find burying a towel a tedious task, you can just burn it. They burn easily and do not produce any harmful pollutants.

Since these towels are made out of hundred per cent natural fiber, they are excellent for use in first aid procedures. Apart from this, these organic towels can be used for drying, as protection against the weather, as a fire starter, cleaning aid, water filter and many other things. But this is not all. The best part about Lightload towels is that they are really the lightest towels that you will ever see. With a 12x24 inch towel weighing only half an ounce, you can carry as many on your camping trip as you want without feeling any weight. Think you do not have space! You will be shocked to know that a 36x60 inch full size Lightload towel comes in such a small pack that you can hold half a dozen in your pocket with room to spare. So the next time you go camping, take along these eco-friendly and featherweight towels with you instead of carrying around extra bulk in your back pack.
