There is no "away"

We think this cartoon says so much about our present challenges and speaks to several LNT principles, particularly Plan Ahead and Prepare and Dispose of Waste Properly.

Have you taken the Pledge?

Last fall Subaru Canada and Leave No Trace Canada launched the Leave No Trace Pledge. As we head into spring, we're continuing to challenge more Canadians to show their commitment to minimizing our impact outdoors by taking the Pledge. For everyone that does so, a tree will be planted in Canada. Our goal is to plant 10,000 trees.

"We are excited to partner with Leave No Trace Canada and help promote their Seven Principles," said Subaru Canada Chairman, President and CEO Tomohiro Kubota. "We look forward to challenging Canadians to take The Pledge as we believe these guidelines provide the basis of responsible exploration, helping to mitigate environmental impact."
