    A Brief History of Environmentalism

    Anthropologists have found evidence of human-induced animal and plant extinctions from 50,000 BCE, when only about 200,000 Homo sapiens roamed the Earth. We can only speculate about how these early humans reacted, but migrating to new habitats appears to be a common response.

    Hazardous chemicals found in outdoor gear

    Most brands had to admit that they do use PFCs. But they didn’t tell us which products they were in. So we asked you which products you wanted tested.
