to limit your impact on the environment
- don't use single use cartridges, a pump works just fine (you need the upper body work anyway)
- patch your tubes
- don't eat goo that comes with its own weight of plastic
imo

Any suggestion for some good co2 inflator head where you can control the flow?
Some of there are leaking a bit.

I'm about to order a Co2 inflator. I'm getting the Lezyne speed drive. Just not sure wether to get the one with trigger or not. What are the pros and cons?

I run tubeless so for group rides I try to minimize the delay with a dynaplug and a single CO2 cartridge. As a backup I carry a Silca mini pump.
