about... GO!Bag

In 1999, Bridges: Projects in Rational Tourism Development (Bridges-PRTD) introduced a new item of trekking gear: the Garbage Out! Bag. The GO!Bag is a collapsing water-proof sack that tucks into a sleeve behind a flat Goretex shield the size of a largish postcard. Big enough to carry beer bottles, cans, gas containers, and weeks' of slimey tissue paper, the GO!Bag can be slung across your shoulder or looped over the top of any backpack. It is designed to be easily filled and emptied by means of a velcro flap, and an anchor cord can be secured in order to prevent the loaded bag from swinging and bobbing.

A feathery 65 grams, the GO!Bag is the simplest and neatest way to carry your personal trash for a couple of days until you can find an appropriate garbage disposal receptacle -- without mucking up everything else in your backpack. Designed and tested by Bridges-PRTD in collaboration with Tsering Choekyap of Sun Rise Trekking (5/241 Jhocchen Tole, Kathmandu), the GO!Bag is endorsed by the Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (KEEP) as an effective means of pollution control in all remote destinations.
