Further to this we are in a position to encourage and facilitate learning about our environment and deliver some key messages.

What we’re doing
- We have never used single-use items. Our food containers, plates and crockery are all washed and reused for every trip.
- We make bulk homemade food, largely vegetarian, food scraps and waste are composted.
- We loan gear such as tents, sleeping mats and rucksacks to avoid unnecessary purchases These are repaired throughout their life.
- We have recently partnered with Off-track www.offtrack.com.au and currently promote their 2nd Life Program. We aim to roll out a program of collecting old outdoor gear across all trips in 2022.
- TSA operates on a carry in – carry out policy. TSA guides lead by example and pick up any extra litter on the trail, aiming to have a positive, rather than neutral, impact.
- Our community supports locals, we only engage local businesses rather than large multinational chains.
- Office runs on renewable energy supply.
