Outdoor recreation inherently leaves an impact on the land, but we can work to offset that impact by advocating for the earth in our own circles, online, and in our neighborhoods. The question is, can we use the digital space to protect the outdoors while still protecting our human spirit? Whether you hike, bike, camp, climb, hunt, ride, paddle, paint, garden--whatever way you get out and enjoy nature, you leave an impact on the outdoors every time you step out your front door. Every step your boots take down dusty trails, every bolt your clip draws into, every time you cruise down a dirt road, till the soil, you leave an impact. This toolkit, accompanied by On Digital Advocacy: Saving the Planet While Preserving our Humanity, is meant to be written in, doodled on, and loved as you take it along with you on your advocacy journey.

"On Digital Advocacy is outdoor advocate Katie Bouâe's exploration of the intersection of advocacy, stewardship, social media, and our humanity. In this refreshingly frank consideration, Bouâe maintains that we all share a responsibility to protect our planet--especially those in the outdoor industry--and in the digital age, access to advocacy is abundant. Social media hands out the tools to get educated, gather resources, organize, and empower people to choose whatever slice of the "save the planet" pie that tempts the appetite to do good. The opportunity and potential for digital advocacy are dizzying, and Bouâe describes her own journey through that exciting and complex world. She then asks-and answers-the questions: What happens when we begin to tangle our personal identities with our pursuit of saving a dying earth? What happens when a meteoric rise as a social media influencer comes at the expense of our well-being? In passionate form, she argues that as users of public lands, we have an ethical responsibility to the planet. Yet as inhabitants of our identities, we also have an ethical responsibility to ourselves. Bouâe's honest and quick-paced essay charts a course for using the digital space to protect the outdoors while still protecting our human spirit"--
