Depends on what shade of "green" you're after .... love2kayak New

the boats, the paddles, the gear, the driving... what's green about any of these things? decker New

So what would you suggest IS green? love2kayak New

i jus see and hear a lot of boaters ragging on other "activities" and want to know exactly what is so "green" about ours decker New

i cant think of one "green" thing about doing pretty much anything, but paddling is probably a lot more "green" than clay54 New

breathing emits carbon dioxide... heavy breathing emits even more??? <NT> decker New

So . . . the only truely 'green' thing we can do is die? ... New

we're the top of the food chain!!! <NT> decker New

Are we really? We are 'preyed upon' by viruses, and (in the end) are consumed by bacteria and other microbes! ... New

great... yer one of those folks that enjoys arguing about the chicken versus the egg huh? <NT> decker New

Walking naked and barefoot would be "green" TL1 New

it's probably not best to start that trend in the fattest and most obese nation on earth... right? <NT> decker New

the environmental impact would be nothing compared to the visual impact <NT> TL1 New

I think that while kayaking in itself is not entirely "green" jhaddock New

It's as green as you want it to be... gevans New

agreed <NT> J4mesRiverBlues New

Maybe the greenest thing we can do is to bring awareness ... love2kayak New

which really just makes us a group of hypocrites... doesn't it decker New

wrong post/reply decker New

True-and if no one goes out into Nature, they wont care out preserving it yespe1 New

The sad part is that the trash you and I pick up is mostly left there by love2kayak New

greener than ripping around on four wheelers (but they are fun) ScottBarnes New

so we can ask them to give up their ATV's but they shouldn't ask us to give up our boats??? decker New

no.  absolutism is part of the problem ScottBarnes New

Well, it could be a lot "greener" than it is, but at least it's greener than wakeboarding TheBroncoKid New

the amish aren't allowed to wake boat or ride in a motor boat... what makes us so special? decker New

Conscious Outdoor Recreation donk New

Looks good! I share many of their concerns and curiosities about doing things smarter <NT> Riv New

one way to think about it is "what if everyone did this?" <NT> thumper New

you mean like..."what if everyone drove a car"? decker New

no, like "what if everyone paddled?" <NT> thumper New

the headwaters?!?!?!?!? decker New

another way to think about it is "what if NOBODY did this? (paddled)" <NT> thumper New

a third way to think about it is "what if everyone who does it now, stopped, and everyone who doesn't, started?" <NT> thumper New

after thinking about it more, there are probably more ways to think about it <NT> thumper New

It's a petrolium based sport. Unless you use a donkey for a shuttle. <NT> Will_Carry New

the boats, most paddles, and much of the rest of the gear is all petroleum based. <NT> davegg New

so you agree... paddlers are the problem decker New

My definition of "green" isn't to eliminate impact....it's to enjoy the Earth. arrmike New

but that's jus' like giving crack to a junkie in rehab? decker New

I'm against the earth........It's called GRAVITY. Google it. <NT> Will_Carry New
