June 27th Rent a kayak -pay with garbage

PampasKayak, Sweden's leading paddle sport retailer and outfitter (and a member of the Point 65 group) has started a new environmental initiative.

Customers who fill two bags of garbage during their paddle excursion receive a 50% discount on their rental.

With 100 kayaks in the rental fleet PampasKajak will probably amass thousands of garbage bags over the season making the surrounding waters a lot cleaner.

A number of major newspapers and magazines have reported on this initiative. Unfortunately it's all in Swedish but you get the picture!
