T-T-ECO Adventures's Mission Statement: Nature exist for all We might think that we are in charge of the Earth, but we are not. Nature exists for all beings. Resources are limited and belong to all species and they should not be wasted. We should discourage degrading forms of economic growth and encourage earth sustaining forms. Our success is increased by learning the ways that nature sustains itself and using such lessons to enhance the way we think and work. We should leave very few footprints in this world so that other generations can live as we have. We should never deplete or degrade the earths natural capital and never try to live off of the resources of its demise. We should live in harmony with nature taking no more than we need so that our life style does not reduce biodiversity. We need to not do things to harm life, air, water, or soil so that we can help the earths capacity to heal its self from our development so that it can provide sustenance for all, now and forever.
