In July 2019, Natural Habitat Adventures pulled off the ultimate travel experience: the\u00a0<\/span>World\u2019s First Zero Waste Adventure<\/span><\/strong><\/a>,<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0a week-long excursion through Yellowstone National Park that diverted 99% of all on-trip waste from the landfill through recycling, composting, reusing, reducing and refusing. Basically, all the waste that they produced fit snugly inside a quart-sized mason jar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From the park\u2019s scenic Lamar Valley to its gurgling and bubbling Upper Geyser Basin, the group\u2019s 12 participants worked together to produce as minimal waste as possible while enjoying Yellowstone\u2019s vast offerings. They shared meals at restaurants to reduce food waste, opted for bulk snacks rather than individual bags of chips and pretzels to cut down on packaging, and utilized reusable cutlery and containers for their to-go meals. It was a groundbreaking journey, and a successful one, too. It\u2019s also just more than one of a dozen conservation travel milestones highlighted in Nat Hab\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>2023 Sustainability Report<\/span><\/strong><\/a>,<\/span><\/strong> an inaugural publication bringing together nearly 40 years of Nat Hab conservation work into one cohesive study.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFrankly, we\u2019re probably a little overdue,\u201d says Court Whelan, Nat Hab\u2019s Chief Sustainability Officer, \u201cbut it kind of had to be the right time for the company in terms of our collection of stories, the momentum of information, and the impact.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
