Protecting Our Environment .com Mission Statement

We would like to start by extending a most sincere thank you to those who have been our loyal readers for the past few years.  You all have been integral in helping us build our site to the point it is at today.  Thank you for everything that you do to help protect our environment.

We invite you to join us in creating the next chapter of the evolution of Protecting Our Environment.

We wanted to let you know that we are shifting our focus a bit.  Now, from time to time, we will still be covering many of the topics we have in the past, but we have decided to primarily focus on a comprehensive discussion about responsible adventure tour and travel opportunities throughout the world.  Read below for an idea about our new mission, and we look forward to seeing you around in the near future!  Thank you again for your loyalty.

The earth provides us with everything, including the opportunity to responsibly enjoy the many adventures it offers us.  From oceans to canyons; forests to deserts; tundra to coral reef; our world provides us with breathtaking beauty, serenity, and limitless options for activity.

We firmly believe that if we take care of the earth, it will take care of us.  If we tread gently, we can enjoy all of the wonders it bestows upon us.  Conversely, if we approach it with reckless abandon, we may one day no longer be able to experience its true glory.

In our modern, industrialized times, many of us have become so far removed from anything resembling true nature.  We drive down paved streets, walk down concrete sidewalks, and otherwise live in unnatural surroundings.  Have many of us forgotten what it is like to truly experience nature?

The mission of Protecting Our Environment is simple:

By highlighting responsible adventure tour and travel companies, locations, national parks, regions, and much more, we wish to encourage people who are thinking of taking a holiday to consider making the outdoors the centerpiece of the trip. Winter, summer, near, and far, we will strive to bring you information about all that the world has to offer.  This will be a comprehensive and ongoing project, all with the following goal:

The more people experience the beauty and awe of the natural world, the more apt they will be to protect it.

It really is that simple.  The more time we spend outdoors, the more and more we realize how amazing our world really is, and how we must do everything we can to slow down the destruction of it.

When done right, the protection and conservation of natural wilderness can be more economically viable than the plundering and pilfering of it simply for the extraction of natural resources.  There are solutions, and it starts with all of us.

So let’s take a journey outside together.
