Manufacturing products impacts the environment in a negative way from the carbon emissions to the waste by-products. To deny that would be dishonest and we’re not into “green-washing” for appearance’s sake. That being said, we have decided to move forward as a business because our products will not only add to human appreciation and enjoyment of the outdoors. They will also generate capital that enables us to do really good things for the planet (while government and laws take their time catching up with the eco-conscious movement). You will find our environmentally aware business practices below, as well as our pledge to give back financially to Planet Earth. We humbly stand on the shoulders of many other companies who have found their own ways to lessen their impact, and continuously seek to be a part of the solution.

There is no question that one of our main investors at YOBOgear is Planet Earth. She has endlessly provided resources for consumption since the beginning of time. We are ready to acknowledge that and begin to make good on her investment. We feel she deserves more than leftovers in the form of a donation at the end of the year and have made a pact to treat her as an equal partner. The YOBO partners have pledged to match funds, dollar for dollar, from each paycheck they receive and give back to Earth. Imagine if every business made this arrangement… Money is energy and the more energy we can direct back into this beautiful home base, the healthier she will be.

We promise to not only provide you with the best gear for getting out into Nature and enjoying every epic moment conveniently, comfortably, and on your terms — but ALSO to make your purchase matter to this beautiful, glorious, generous planet we are lucky enough to call Home.
