I try to be a very responsible consumer and take environmentalism into concern in my daily life. That has carried over into my BOB, but more in the way of ideas that most here have expressed already. I purchased good solid equipment that I'll hold on to, rechargeable NiMH Batteries and freeplay devices, and by the thought that most things can have multiple purposes.

Sure, there are a few things that will be left behind for hundreds or thousands of years after I and most of my equipment has decomposed; such as plastic buckles, knife scales and such; but overall it's minimal.
