Greenpeace highlight toxic chemicals used in waterproofing
It has always been odd to us, just how far the outdoor clothing and equipment designs and fashions have separated people from the natural environments they seek to enjoy. Mountaineering tents and gear, designed and used for activities that most of us don't even come close to trying. We're all left feeling like a Neil Armstrong stepping out onto the moon from some alien craft, when all we're doing is camping out by a river streaming off a nice mountain in spring!
Now Greenpeace Germany has drawn attention to the toxicity in the chemicals used to waterproof this modern equipment, and we're reminded of another reason why Peak Oil Company is striving to find the right designs for safer, more user friendly clothing and equipment.
