Industrial Revolution joins Leave No Trace as Corporate Partner

Redmond, WA (October 2007) – Industrial Revolution, Inc. announced today that they were partnering with Leave No Trace – Center for Outdoor Ethics whose mission it is to educate the public on how to enjoy the outdoors in an environmentally responsible way. Partnership made sense since Industrial Revolution’s core products, including Candle Lanterns, Grilliput and Light My Fire, support core Leave No Trace Principles which include: 1) Dispose of Waste Properly, 2) Minimize Campfire Impacts and 3) Plan Ahead and Prepare. The Partnership was announced by Keith Jackson, President of Industrial Revolution. “We will continue to introduce and promote products that support Leave No Trace Principles – it’s vital that we preserve and protect these natural areas so that we can enjoy them today and so that our children can enjoy them tomorrow. Damage to the environment can be irreversible and we need to educate others to prevent harm that threatens these beautiful areas”.
