NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT CAMPAIGN

Purpose: To present the true positive image of snowmobilers as the environmentalists we are.

Business Plan: Show that we are a low impact on the land sport, that our tracks go away with warm weather, and that we enjoy being with the land in all seasons. Define who a conservationist really is, who we are, the attributes of possible partners, and our enemy or detractors.

Course of Action:
  • Build our image to the point that we are the pinnacle of environmentalism.
     
  • Promote and participate in visible environmental practices.
     
  • Initiate, promote and facilitate community improvement projects such as tree planting, road clean-up, park building and more.
     
  • Participate in youth groups that have outdoor projects.
     
  • Work with public schools to provide true science so that the extreme green teachers cannot mislead our youth about snowmobiling.
     
  • Show our opponents our goal -- protecting the environment.
     
  • Partner with our detractors on projects that meet an immediate common goal, especially in areas that present a problem.
     
  • Associate ourselves with legislators and government agencies so they see us as environmentalists and good stewards of the land.
     
  • Know what our opposition is claiming and have science ready to refute their claims.
     
  • Focus on snowmobiling as a family sport.
     
  • Be sure everyone knows the difference between wilderness and Wilderness.
