9. Eliminating Single-Use Plastics in the Outdoor Industry with Steven Reinhold

In episode 9 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we will be discussing a hot topic in any part of the sustainability and zero-waste movement:

single-use plastics.

More specifically, we will be discussing the use of plastics on the production side of packaging with some limited discussion regarding consumer use of single-use plastics.

To help me expand on this topic, I had the pleasure of talking to Steven Reinhold.

Steven has worked within the outdoor industry for over a decade. He began his outdoor career with Big City Mountaineers’ Summit for Someone program where he guided and recruited fundraising climbers whose efforts supported BCM’s wilderness-mentoring programs. Steven has been an ambassador for multiple outdoor brands and currently serves as Backpacker Magazine’s official Brand Ambassador. He created the online sensation #trashtag, a social media-based cleanup effort, which went viral in 2019 and has been used over 100 million times worldwide! Steven also founded The Appalachian Adventure Company, which has strong guiding-roots, but has since grown into a formidable Media/Marketing/Consulting company which works closely with organizations like Black Folks Camp Too, Leave No Trace, and the Southern Environmental Law Center.
