There are inherent environmental costs in the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of all products.

Vital Outdoors buyers are encouraged to seek out products that are manufactured in ways that minimize their environmental costs by companies that demonstrate strong conservation ethics. Among the Conservation Choice products you may find at Vital Outdoors are locally made products, goods made from recycled materials, products created from organic, renewable resources, and high quality items that will have a long useful life and/or are repairable or recyclable, rather than disposable.

Vital Outdoors recycles over 43,000 pounds of cardboard, wood, paper, plastic and other materials each year.
