Backside Tours understands that without Mother Nature, Backside would not exist. Hence, we encourage sustainable behaviours not only on our trips, but also in our personal lives. With the issues of global warming, overpopulation and lack of clean water becoming more prevalent in the forcast of the future, we encourage everyone to take initiatives to live more "Green".

Together we can take better care of this beautiful planet we live on.

Here are a few of the things Backside Tours is trying to do on our part to operate Green:
- Mass transportation to/from the ski hills
- Recycle bag program on buses
- Backside prints on recycled paper
- Backside Buzz newsletter is an E-newsletter (no paper sent out)
- Green Tip in every Backside Buzz newsletter to help you stay Green at the resort
- Ride Backside Ford Explorer Hybrid New in August 2007
- 100% WindPowered offices through Greenmax in Calgary and in Edmonton
- Recycle programs at each office
- Energy efficient light bulbs used in both offices
- Founder of the company directly involved in the planting of 8 million seedlings over a 12 year tree planting career Serious carbon credit!
