ASPEN PLEDGE

WHETHER ASPEN IS MY HOME SWEET HOME, OR MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME:

I WILL EXPLORE RESPONSIBLY.

I WILL PREPARE FOR ANY EXPERIENCE. 

I WILL FIND ADVENTURE, BUT NOT VENTURE OFF THE MARKED TRAILS. 

I WILL CARVE THE SNOW AND NOT THE TREES.

I WILL GET LOST IN MY THOUGHTS, BUT NOT IN THE WOODS. 

I WILL REMAIN IN ONE PIECE BY LEAVING THE WILDLIFE IN PEACE. 

I WILL GO SIGHTSEEING WHILE LEAVING THE SITES WORTH SEEING. 

I WILL TRAVEL BY FOOT, BIKE, OR BUS WHEN I CAN, AND DRIVE CAREFULLY WHEN I CANNOT. 

I WILL HONOR THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF THOSE WHO WERE HERE BEFORE ME AND PRESERVE THE LAND FOR THOSE WHO COME AFTER ME. 

I WILL ACCEPT OUR DIFFERENCES AND CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSITY. 

I WILL BE KIND TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF EVERY KIND. 

I PLEDGE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS LITTLE PLACE CALLED ASPEN.
