“It almost seems obvious at this point, but I believe sustainability is our only option for helping to restore the balance of our natural resources. It's for these reasons why I admire and stand by communities and companies such as PolyCore, who value the importance of taking an active stance on global issues and challenge the standard for how we all can lead to a more sustainable future!”

“Everything that brings me an ounce of happiness involves the outdoors. The greatest lie you tell yourself is that the next generation will take care of it. Without accountability for your environmental actions, nothing can be accomplished. See how you can change your position in the problem before taking the problem head on.”
Lou Whittaker
Mountaineer
World renowned expedition leader Lou Whittaker has always been committed to protecting our planet, especially after decades of witnessing high alpine areas degrade due to climate change. He is a proud supporter of PolyCore’s efforts to phase out petroleum in the outdoor industry.

”Tackling environmental issues in the outdoor industry is important to me because I have experienced year after year, winters getting shorter and snow fall amounts decreasing, ultimately leading to hotter and dryer summers.”
Nii Noi Omaboe
Climate Leader
"As an activist, I believe that the path to addressing the environmental challenges of our time should not only be directed towards demanding justice from world leaders and big corporations, but should be complemented with everyday regenerative lifestyles. This is why I support the work of PolyCore and the sustainable fashion initiative. This initiative proves that we are not hopeless, rather every little action can help secure a sustainable future"

Outdoor Enthusiast & Activist
“I believe that our disconnection from nature is the source of much suffering, for us and the planet. Once we take a moment to acknowledge the wisdom in the wind and in our trees and seas and rivers, we begin to return to home. This is one of the many reasons that I look to support brands that are putting real energy and intention into creating more sustainable products and manufacturing practices.”
