If you're a fan of camping trips then it may well be that one of the highlights for you is that feeling of being at one with nature. But is that really the case? Are you actually damaging the natural environment?
In the times that we're currently living in, it seems that environmental issues are rarely out of the news. It's hard to ignore the ongoing discussions about a range of issues, from carbon footprints to greenhouse gases and global warming.
You may think of a camping holiday as being a good way to behave in a manner that is sensitive to the environment. You might, for example, feel good about the fact that you are able to opt out of harmful flights.
The thinking behind this all makes some sense, but are you really doing as much as you might? A new range of portable camping toilets aims at ensuring that we make the most of a camping trip, while also looking after the natural environment.
Let's take a closer look - what are they all about?
Originally designed in response to the needs of the Norwegian armed forces, these toilets are both hygienic and friendly to your surroundings. They have the added advantage of ensuring that you don't have to use the sub-standard bathroom facilities that are so often provided at camp sites.
They use a system that does not require any water or chemicals, meaning that they really do avoid taking their toll on natural resources.
By making use of biodegradable bags, they're an excellent solution for those who really want to show their green credentials.
You might wonder about the practicalities of using a portable toilet. Just how transportable are they, for instance?
The reality is that this was a key part of the design brief. As a result, these new portable camping toilets are extremely compact, allowing them to easily transport them in the boot of your car.
You can now have a great camping holiday without damaging the environment that you love so much.
