ACT FOR THE OUTDOORS - their program

ACT for the Outdoors is the program that supports outdoor projects for environmental preservation and the development of outdoor sports practices in a sustainable development approach. ACT for the Outdoors is launching a fundraising campaign and wishes to mobilize every company in the outdoor industry as well as all practitioners concerned about their playground, to contribute through a donation to the financing of associative projects. To go further, it is also possible to opt for environmentally friendly outdoor products that participate in this same preservation dynamic.

The goal?

  • Accelerate awareness and create a collective dynamic between the outdoor industry, local communities, and practitioners.

  • Financially support associative structures or related entities implementing concrete public interest projects on the ground.

ALPINSTORE - our contribution

On our site Alpinstore, we give you the opportunity to round up your cart at the end of your order. This action allows us to raise funds, but know that these are fully donated to Act For The Outdoor, to subsequently preserve natural spaces and the sustainable development of outdoor practices. 100% of your donation will be directly given to the supported associations!

CONSUMERS - your commitment

Thanks to you and your willingness to participate in the preservation of our playground and improve the development of outdoor sports, Act for The Outdoors has raised nearly €100,000 and financed about 10 projects in just two years. Thanks to your donations and small gestures, Act For The Outdoors is projected through various associations. Keep participating... the results are encouraging.

ACT FOR THE OUTDOORS SUPPORTS ASSOCIATIONS

  • The association Surfrider traveled the rivers and waterways of France during the summer of 2019 to identify and analyze plastic pollution. The goal of this action was to contribute to the development of the application by Microsoft, which allows mapping waste to conclude solutions. After a day of waste collection on the beach of Port-Cros, for example, plastic was obviously at the top of the ranking. The collection hour filled a 100-liter bag!

  • Today, young people are becoming less and less interested in their natural environment. That’s why Mountain Riders organized outings in the nearby mountains to know, experience, and see what is really happening in our nature. This year, 7 youth structures from Chambéry participated in 3 outings with 72 young people and two four-day stays with 24 young people involved. The goal here was obviously to better familiarize with the natural environment in which we live. “We didn’t think about the phone, I even forgot my phone.”

  • This summer, it was Mountain Wilderness that organized 6 dismantling projects of obsolete installations. For years, tourist, industrial, agricultural, or even military developments have been established in our mountains. These impact the landscapes, which is why the Mountain Wilderness association decided to make them disappear. For this, 253 volunteers mobilized to ultimately recover 31 tons of waste.

  • The association France Nature Environnement 74 (FNE) has dealt with 6 alerts since July for environmental violations such as illegal burning of waste in protected areas, helicopter/airplane overflights above natural areas, and others... To raise awareness among the population, this association held a stand at the Glières trail, with the sole purpose of exchanging and making known their application.

  • To invite outdoor practitioners to move from consumers to actors, the association Mountain Bikers organizes trail maintenance workshops to contribute to the sustainable and responsible development of our only playground. If you are interested in this action, participate in the first session which will take place on November 23 and 24, organized in Var. The next ones will be in spring...

If you are sensitive to the preservation of natural spaces and the sustainable development of outdoor practices, then take action.
