The Outdoor Guide upholds its core values of sustainability and conservation of the outdoor world that we love so much and encourage people to go and make the most of. We are acutely aware of the impact that the throwaway culture of today is having on the environment. Not only are our lifestyles unsustainable for humans, but the results of our habits are potentially having irreversible effects on the natural world.

We are committed to living a green lifestyle and want to do everything we can to make it as easy as possible for other people to as well. Soon we will be unveiling TOG Life which will provide a one stop shop for those who want to make the change to sustainable living.

TOG Life will be a place to find eco-friendly products and green alternatives, tips on recycling and how to work towards zero waste and ideas for buying local to reduce our impact on the environment.

Sometimes, making these changes can feel daunting especially when on a budget. That’s why TOG Life will aim to bring its users the best value alternatives and make all information accessible and free.
