Factory farms require huge carbon inputs and produce huge carbon outputs in the form of methane. It takes more than a calorie of fuel to produce every calorie we eat and, in industrial meat production, the ratio of calories-in to calories-out can be as high as 58:1. Eating livestock from your local community lessens this problem, but it still has a higher carbon output than a vegetarian diet.

Our biggest news this year is on the product front, as we overhauled our entire line of Nordic boots (World Cup through kids) to be PVC-Free. There are many components that go into each Nordic boot, and by replacing many of the older PVC materials with new, innovative softshell components in our boot construction, we are reducing our impact on the winter world around us. The hybrid and full-softshell designs not only provide PVC-Free boots, but they also lend perfect molding to the contours of the foot, providing a fit as warm and comfortable as it is precise.

The concept of "food miles" and the carbon footprint of food is becoming more widely known. The basic concept is: as we have increasingly globalized our food supply, we use more petroleum flying food all over the world. Locally produced food doesn't bring this problem, and it also provides many additional benefits. So what is local food, and why is it so great? Instead of going to the supermarket and buying food that comes from another country, your money helps support your local community, where it stays within the local tax base, and provides local jobs. All while helping to stop climate change.
