Every one to two years we choose an environmental crisis to devote most of our energy towards (see our current campaign), but that doesn't mean we turn our backs on other important issues. Here you'll find information and action alerts on environmental issues that won't necessarily appear in our catalogs or retail stores.



Vote the Environment

The natural environment needs protection and voting is one of the most direct ways to help. There's an inextricable link between the sports we love, the wild places where we play and the impact of our vote. And in today's political climate, a single vote can make all the difference.

Oceans as Wilderness

The goal of our 2006-2007 Oceans as Wilderness campaign was to help us see what lives under the Earth's seas: how the vast schools of tuna are like those herds of buffalo; how bottom trawling is like clear-cutting an entire forest to get at a single tree. As we teach ourselves how close the connection is between the vitality of human life and the marine environment, we can all become better stewards of the ocean in our daily lives.
