Better travelers = better storiesThis summer, let’s raise the standard by reducing our impact on the environment and communities we visit.

No matter your adventure style, REI has the tools you need to practice Leave No Trace. Together, we’re not just preserving the Earth’s wonders—we’re getting to know them more personally than ever before.

For all sales of Nothing But Footprints gear, REI donates 5% to nonprofits that educate adventurers on Leave No Trace and ethical tourism.

Adventure with us

Explore new sights and cultures—always with a local guide. You can be confident your trip is planned responsibly, and you’ll be sure to pick up some tips and tricks for your own enlightened travels along the way.

This week only, co-op members get an additional 10% off on REI Adventures!

Take a class

Stop by your local REI for FREE Leave No Trace classes all month.

Our experts teach you the best ways to enjoy your travels ethically. This class is a great foundation for beginners or a refresher for seasoned explorers! There will be games, prizes and, of course, s’mores.

Suspect water. Sun exposure. Limited power. Some of the most amazing places on the planet tempt us to use the disposables we avoid at home, just to stay safe. But

these reusable alternatives will keep you AND the environment protected.

rei “I knew the water wasn’t safe,” says #NothingButFootprints ambassador @hannahbanananas, “but I was going through two, three plastic bottles of water a day. It was the hottest month of the year in Morocco. I can’t believe I didn’t think to use a filter sooner.”

rei Meet @kellygreentravels, founder of Women for Global Wildlife. Kelly and her staff research the impact of safaris and wildlife tours around the world, so tourists can make informed decisions. “I love seeing how we make a difference… none of the work would matter if people didn’t care about the animals. We’ve seen hundreds of abusive elephant sanctuaries in Thailand disappear because there isn’t a market for them anymore.”

5% of proceeds from #NothingButFootprints gear go to WGW and similar nonprofits! Read more by following the link in our bio.

rei “My wife and I wouldn’t have known where to start on our own, but we fell in love with the idea of a bikepacking trip. Experiencing Croatia’s countryside like that was unreal - the reduced carbon footprint was just a bonus.” @michaelcalloway. Our REI Adventures are a spectacular way to gain Leave No Trace skills and see the world in a new light.
