All our tourism experiences include an organic food menu, and include carbon offsets for the emissions related to travel during this experience. Our company contributes 1% of our gross revenue to environmental charities and works effectively with local indigenous peoples to increase their involvement in tourism. We strive to stay current and utilize all environmentally friendly products that we can, and attempt to do our best to source our equipment from companies that demonstrate social justice business models.

At Cabin Fever Adventures we don’t believe we can protect the planet by simply saying that we love wilderness and that we strive to protect wild places. Of course we love the wilderness, but the bigger question is does the day-to-day operation of our company demonstrate this commitment? At Cabin Fever Adventures we strive to be the Yukon’s industry leader in promoting a earth-friendly business model. We actively engage our company in the preservation of not only the wilderness here in the Yukon, but consider our company an economic vehicle to affect positive change around the planet.

Our Earth-Friendly initiatives are based on the following simple beliefs:

•One person’s happiness can not be build at the cost of another's
•One person can change the world by doing things differently, daily
•The needs of the earth’s natural systems are the basis for all sound economic decisions when judged over the long-term.

Based on the above stated beliefs, we have instituted the following business practices into the operations of Cabin Fever Adventures.

We Provide an Organic and Fair Trade Food Menu

•Our food menu is as close to 100% organic as possible and we support several Fair Trade organizations through our food purchases as well. To learn more about organic food products please visit our food distributors website www.horizondistributors.com
•To learn more about Fair Trade products and benefits please visit www.transfairusa.org

We are a Member of One Percent for the Planet

•One Percent for the Planet is an organization of member companies who donate at least 1 % of their gross revenues to non-profit environmental protection agencies. We are proud to have made this commitment and hope you will check out their site.
We Support-Best Practice Local and or Canadian Businesses Partnerships
•We support businesses in the following order of priority when it comes to sourcing gear for our company. First we support companies that we feel are conducting best practices for eco-justice and earth-friendly business practices. Next, we support companies that are local to the Yukon, and thirdly we support Canadian manufactured products because as a voter we can at least work towards changes in our own country.


We Challenge the Status Quo Consumer Attitudes Through our Purchasing Decisions

•We maintain our gear very well and believe in using the entire life-span of a product through proper maintenance and repairs. CFA does not get rid of perfectly good gear to satiate the consumer demand to be outfttted in gear that appears to be brand-new. We can not pretend to be true environmental advocates if our concern for the environment is Yukon-specific rather that global in perspective. Unnecessary consumerism is the fundamental lifestyle problem which has placed human existence out of balance with the planet. We need to start operating within our needs, rather than our wants. When a piece of gear no longer does its job properly or will create a significant consequence if it fails in the backcountry than it is first repaired, and if it can not be properly repaired than it is replaced, but not before. We have become skilled in gear repair, and even make some one-of-a-kind items ourselves. We attempt to source gear for our company from like-minded companies who are making significant steps to reduce their global environmental impact.


We Support Agencies Dedicated to Protecting Wild Places and to Improving Transportation Technologies Vital to Tourism

•We donate to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) and green technologies NGO’S. For more information on the work of CPAWS please visit www.cpaws.org
•We donate to the Pembina Foundation. www.pembinafoundation.org The Pembina Foundation for Environmental Research and Education supports innovative environmental research and education initiatives that help people reduce their energy footprint.


We Practice Leave No Trace Camping Practices

•The owner of Cabin Fever Adventures is a certified Master Trainer for The Leave No Trace Centre for Outdoor Ethics. We travel as lightly upon the land as we can so as to leave for the enjoyment of future generations the landscape we hold dear today.

Day-to-Day Operation of our Physical Plant

We operate Cabin Fever Adventures from our wilderness base-camp and are pursuing numerous efforts to minimize our environmental footprint.

•We personally live a lower-than-average impact lifestyle at our cabin in the wilderness. We live with our family of three in a 480 square foot home (44.6 m2 ) that is also our office for CFA. We function on an average of 15 gallons (56.78 L) of water per day for our entire family, including laundry, cleaning, drinking etc. Our water consumption at home is about one-twentieth the national average for Canada.
•We operate an almost paper-less office and we conduct near-paperless interactions with our clients. You will notice that we offer all our information digitally and encourage our customers to embrace communication that avoids the need for paper.
•We will soon be investing in a solar energy system for our base camp.
•We believe in making our equipment last as long as possible and invest in skills and equipment which allow us to utilize local building materials and waste materials, to operate and or repair our equipment.
•We remove our solid human waste from the environment on our busier river routes and dispose of it in sanitation dumps
•Our largest environmental impact is our use of fossil fuels for transportation. This is why we actively donate to foundations supporting advances in renewable energy, such as the Pembina Foundation and have chosen to carbon offset all of our tourism products.
•We utilize green cleaning dish soaps, cleaning products, and laundry detergents.
