# Sustainable Traveling Cups MiiR and Photographer Chris Burkard Create Eco-Conscious Traveling Cups By Kanesa D | Published 2022-05-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miir References: [miir](https://www.miir.com/collections/burkard)  A new collaboration between photographer Chris Burkard and MiiR has just launched, bringing consumers a 12ox camp cup, 16oz tumbler, and 32oz bottle designed using Burkard’s aerial photography. The photo features glacial sediment running through a frozen landscape, visible from a small Cessna in the Icelandic Highland. The image was taken by Burkard in 2015 with the aim to encourage consumers to consider our relationship with wildlife while going through day-to-day life. $5 from each sale will be donated to Outdoor Outreach, a nonprofit organization that connects youth to the transformative power of the outdoors. MiiR is a certified B Corporation, ‘1% for the Planet’ member, and for the second consecutive year, a Climate Neutral Certified brand. Additionally, all MiiR products contain a unique ‘Give Code’ that allows customers to connect with the company’s giving initiatives. ‘The Halendid Collection’ is now available on the MiiR website.
