El Nomad's Environmental Commitment
We do our best to be as environmentally conscious as possible, and are doing all that we can, not to leave carbon footprints where we tread. Because of this commitment, El Nomad operates using recycled products and recycling the waste produced by our center. El Nomad also promises to plant a tree native to the Andes region of Ecuador for each student who participates in our programs.
Here are a few ways you can make your own commitment to help the environment:

Ensure that the products you buy as environmentally friendly as possible (for example, does it save energy, conserve water, have recyclable content?)
Reject unnecessary packaging (such as plastic bags at the grocery store)
Re-use packaging

Compost kitchen and garden waste
Choose recycled goods whenever possible
At school:

Support or initiate school recycling schemes
At work:
Press for more efficient use of resources such as energy and office paper
