earth by Wanderer® is the new kid on the block, who's really turning heads! Their motto: Being at one with nature and empowering people to "wander with purpose" while lessening the impact on the planet (after all, we've only got one). The quality of this gear speaks for itself, but there's something else this ripper range speaks for… giving back.
1% for the Planet
If you're unfamiliar with who 1% for the Planet are, allow us to fill you in. This is an organisation that was created by a couple of fishos back in 2002 - our type of people! They recognised the environmental impact that businesses make and thought it was time for a change, and since then they have formed a global movement. To date, 1% for the Planet has certified over $600 million in donations to environmental causes across the globe. The beauty of this program is 1% for the Planet provides accountability and certifies reputable giving, with thousands of businesses and individuals working toward a better future for us all.
We are so proud that earth by Wanderer is a member of this incredible organisation, and having the reflow funds going to a land restoration organisation here at home makes it even better. We're stoked to state 1% of the total sales from all earth by Wanderer products sold will go directly to the lovely folk at Greening Australia - that's a win for everyone.
Proudly Supporting Greening Australia
As our environmental partner in the 1% for the Planet program, earth by Wanderer is proudly supporting Greening Australia to help in their endeavours for a better tomorrow. Now, Greening Australia is a name that needs no introduction, they are a bunch of legends who've been looking after this great Country of ours for over 40 years. They're committed to tackling some of our hardest hitting environmental challenges, with landscape restoration and the protection of native flora and fauna being right up their alley. One of the main goals at Greening Australia is the planting of 500 million native plants by 2030, now this may seem ambitious, but not for these champions. Every time you invest in earth by Wanderer gear, 1% of the sale goes back to Greening Australia, who are actively driving and regenerating the beautiful and diverse landscapes on our home soil from city suburbs to the rural outback.
Made to go the distance
The other great thing to mention about this new range is the robust materials used, with an emphasis on being more responsible, where they've tried to incorporate certified post-consumer recycled fabrics, pre-consumer recycled cotton and REPREVE® wherever possible. Speaking of REPREVE, where it's been used as fabric in this quality camping kit, know it's at least 90% REPREVE® material which is huge! - but we'll talk more about that in a tick. Did you know that globally, humans use almost 1.2 million plastic bottles per minute? And out of that only 56% are recycled - now that's a lot of landfill! OK, REPREVE®, the world's leading brand in recycled performance fibres is helping us to try and change those stats. REPREVE® creates certifiable, traceable, and high-performance fibres from recycled PET bottles and we think it's perfect for earth by Wanderer! - giving yesterday's waste a second life!
Packaging and swing tags get some love too!
So, it's not only the products themselves, their packaging is also getting the full treatment. Going for a minimalistic approach to packaging, with everything down to the swing tags being made fully kerbside recyclable (ties included), they've even done away with gel silica sachets and replaced them with clay dessicant instead - It's the little things that set this range apart! they've stamped out single use plastic
What is in the earth by Wanderer range?
From the first timer to the practically lives in a tent, this range is perfect for you! It has everything from tents and sleeping bags, to quilts and camping chairs - even soft coolers make an appearance. Not only are these beauties built to last but they look the goods too, made to mix and match with each other in the muted earthy colour palette inspired from our beautiful Aussie landscapes. Gotta love our flora and fauna, this range is real celebration of nature. If you're looking for new additions to the camping kit that'll last seasons, not moments - earth by Wanderer is your pick! Get out there and wander with purpose.
