What doesn’t burn or decompose in landfills? Well, lots of things of course, but energy and breakfast bar wrappers are what I was getting at. Most of them are junk anyway, so do yourself two favors and make your own trail mix or gorp at home. Simple Trail Mix 1 can (11.5oz) of mixed nuts 1 cup of peanut M&Ms 1 cup of raisins'' How does this help reduce your environmental impact compared with buying a trail mix/ energy bar from a store? You have now bought three tins instead of ONE bag/wrapper. When you make your own 'trail mix' it is likely you have to dispose of the original containers thus damaging the environment and when you carry the new mix on the mountain surely your new container will need disposing? I don't like this. ”Make your own snacks. What doesn’t burn or decompose in landfills? Well, lots of things of course, but energy and breakfast bar wrappers are what I was getting at.
