"Loving Outdoors isn't just our name, it's our moto"

Here at Loving Outdoors we are commited to helping the environment and those within it, taking steps to ensure we our doing our utmost to not create unnecessary waste and pollution. The world is a beautful place but it won't be that way forever unless we are conscious of the resources we use and the waste we produce. We believe in protecting the environment the best we can so that you and I can continue to Love the Outdoors. Here are some of the ways we are trying to help:

• WEEE
• Battery Return
• Milawi
• Packaging

Battery Return We believe in reduce, reuse, recycle maxim, and nowhere is the more prevalent than with batteries. When not disposed of properly they release harmful chemicals into the earth and atmosphere, and can cause soil and water pollution. Recycling avoids this and the raw materials that are recovered can be used to make other products, saving some of the need to mine for new materials. You can recycle your used batteries wherever you see the Be Positive sign- most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have the collection bins, and several local councils collect them from your doorstop. If you can't manage to recycle them, send them to us and we will do it for you. If you want to return batteries, call us on 0845 257 7382 or email us hello@lovingoutdoors.com or visit direct.gov.uk/batteries

Malawi We are commited to being an ethical company, and believe it is important to support the developing world. With this in mind we  support the Reaper Ministries Charity, which is a Christian Charity that undertakes projects in Malawi, Africa. Reaper Ministries is a small family run charity that is committed to supporting the developing world. We know that every penny goes to the where it is needed thanks to Richard Trotter and the team who have been doing this since 1996. They don't take a salary and instead have dedicated their lives to helping a truely worthwhile cause; day in, day out. We contribute financially which they use to build schools and providing children with material suchs as books and clothes that they might not have. They also provide a support network for adults, and undertake other outreach projects, as well as doing work in India. If you would like to Sponser a child or support Reaper Ministries please either contact us or download the support form HERE. Alternatevely visit www.reaperministries.org.uk

Packaging We believe it is important to reduce unnecessary packaging where we can, because too often products come with all kinds of useless plastics, cardboard and paper. Trees are being cut down for this paper, and plastics will sit in landfills for years, so we use recycled paper, news paper and recycled cardboard in our packaging where we can. Sometimes this is not always possible but we are slowly moving towards using recycled packaging for everything. Don't worry though, your item will arrive unharmed, but we endeavour to reduce the waste where we can.
