This collaboration marks a pivotal step in the shared ESG commitment, as it integrates clean solar-powered solutions into outdoor adventures for more sustainable outdoor recreation and lifestyle.

"Our alliance with Leave No Trace is born from a deep resonance with their core principles of sustainability. Through BLUETTI's solar solutions, we're taking tangible steps to care for our planet, working alongside Leave No Trace to minimize campfire impacts, respect wildlife, and more."
"At Leave No Trace, our mission is to educate and inspire communities to protect the outdoors.

"Partnering with BLUETTI ensures that we can continue delivering impactful education while minimizing our footprint, no matter where our journey takes us.

Powering Leave No Trace Traveling Teams with Clean Energy
Since 1999, Leave No Trace's Training and Educational Team has transformed trails, campsites, and public lands into interactive outdoor classrooms, engaging thousands of hikers, campers, and environmental advocates across the U.S.
This year, the team continues its mission to educate and inspire outdoor enthusiasts. To enhance their fieldwork, traveling educators are utilizing the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 solar generator as a vivid example of responsible energy use in nature.
Operating at a whisper-quite 16dB, the Elite 200 V2 significantly reduces noise pollution compared to traditional generators that emit around 60dB. This low-noise solar generator ensures minimal disturbance to wildlife and fellow adventurers, making it ideal for camping and other outdoor activities. Additionally, the solar generator provides a clean, , smoke-free alternative to gas generators, allowing team members to power coffee makers and cooking equipment while reducing wildfire risks in the upcoming wildfire season. To further reduce carbon footprint, team members will install Charger 1 Alternator Charger to capture excess power from their car's alternator for fast recharging. Along with the 200W Portable Solar Panel, they can recharge their power stations using the sunlight, ensuring smooth travels across the United States.
Making Clean Energy the New Trail Marker
Charge clean, leave no trace. As outdoor life increasingly relies on energy solutions, these two green pioneers are on a shared journey, redefining sustainable energy use for nature exploration. BLUETTI is furthering sustainable energy practices outdoors while expanding the reach of Leave No Trace principles, jointly exploring effective energy practices to preserve the purity of natural landscapes and a healthier planet.
