Philosophy:

Our mission is to find a path that leads toward a sustainable future for all life on Earth.

Nature guides us and teaches us, we follow and learn.

Nature shows us and speaks to us, we watch and listen.

If nature is under attack, we must protect and fight back.

Lend your hand where others need help.

Give your voice to those that can’t speak.

Listen when others call out.

Call out so that others may join in.

Share yourself so that others may share back.

Be one with yourself.

Be one with life.

Be one with the Earth.
