Earth Day Product Guide

Products shipped separately. Each item listed is from a different Maker in the PA Wilds regions and by purchasing, you are helping sustain our region’s small businesses and our rural communities. Adjust the quantity for each item before adding to your cart based on your needs.

Earth Day is a time for us to reflect on how important it is to honor and respect our planet. Although we hope you carry the spirit of Earth Day with you throughout the year, April 22 gives us a chance to contemplate how our choices impact the environment and how we can band together to make a difference. 

While we certainly hope that you celebrate Earth Day by enjoy nature and perhaps participating in a local cleanup or beautification project, many people forget that their everyday choices can be just as impactful on the environment.

Does it matter where the stuff you buy comes from? We think so. And that’s why we developed the PA Wilds Marketplace. When you buy something at ShopThePAWilds.com, you're reducing in your carbon footprint. The products likely won’t have to be shipped as far as if you bought them from a big-box store or an online retailer like Amazon. Plus, when you choose a product that was sourced locally in the PA Wilds, you’re reducing your environmental impact even further by making sure that those products don’t have to be shipped from literally the other side of the planet.
