In 2019 writer, conservationist, and founder of Soul Fly Outfitters in Kittery, kyleschaeferflyfishing, caught wind of like-minded business owners in the fishing industry going carbon-neutral. After joining the flyfishingclimatealliance and working with sustainable business consultancy emergerstrategies, Schaefer became the world’s first carbon-neutral fly-fishing guide in 2020. “You need to take a look at your carbon footprint and take inventory of the greenhouse gases that your business is emitting,” says Schaefer. “From there, you look at what you can reduce. What you can’t reduce, you offset with renewable credits.” Tap the link in our bio to read about the fly-fishing guide who values protecting the environment as much as catching a striped bass. ⁠ ⁠ Story: kath_englishman⁠ Photo: klementovich⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ #themainemag #loveme #flyfishing #flyfishingguide #fishinginmaine #carbonneutral #carbonoffsets #conservation
