Everyone involved in the Laneo Project would like to thank those that support Laneo by becoming members, fans and followers. Our mission is simple: cleanup the planet by enabling thousands of community based nature restoration projects to happen around the world.
We can accomplish this by reuniting a global community of citizens who believe that supporting brands that are engaged in environmental stewardship by sponsoring nature cleanup projects (far beyond window-dressing), is the way to drive lasting change to our great outdoors.
We have literally hundreds of remarkable pre-planned cleanup projects waiting around the globe, thousands of volunteers praying to get our “go-ahead” emails and some stunning, measurable results only hours away.
We need only one thing. People.
Hundreds of thousands.
So in 2010, if you’d like to take part in some action to get our outdoors cleaned up, I am asking you to do one thing. Spread the word.
It’s not about your money. It’s not about giving hours of your time. It’s not about your identity.
It’s just saying, by joining, that you believe the outdoors needs to be cleaned up. And if a brand makes this possible, all they need is a “thumbs up”.
Simple, but powerful.
So, my promise to you for this New Year is this: the more people that signup, the more your playground is going to look, smell & feel better!
Ping me anytime at mail (at) laneo (dot) org
From all of us at Laneo, we wish you and your family, joy, peace and health in 2010.

In 2007, we launched Laneo.org based on the principle that opinions are powerful. Our worldwide members have improved the health of the planet simply by donating their ideas and insights about products, services, events, materials, processes and just about every other part of the outdoor sports industry.
Now it’s time to take an exciting leap forward. Laneo has been lucky to have an incredible group of supporters who jumped on board right from the moment we launched. These are our premier members and sponsors, and we can’t thank you enough! We’ve also got a great behind-the-scenes team that continues to make this all possible.
And while we have some terrific partners, notably LOOK CYCLES, ORIGINAL BUFF & GOLITE, many other colleagues in a wide variety of corporations, especially the outdoor sports industry, have been a little slower to embrace Laneo’s innovative business model. We’ve offered these companies an opportunity to not just talk the eco-friendly talk, but also to walk a path that will truly serve the planet.
So now it’s time to step back, recover and prepare for the next phase. Before year-end 2009, we’ll be back in action and looking better than ever. We can’t say much more, but get ready for more tools, more hands-on experiences, and more opportunities to make a real impact on the world around you. We’ll be ready to regain our position as the worlds premiere online eco-outdoor community, taking action for our planet.
In the meantime, there are lots of ways to keep up with Laneo. You can attend, plan or participate in Laneo Camps in Europe and around the world. These are hands-on projects for the planet developed and run by people just like you!
You can also check us out on Facebook, Twitter, or through the Laneo Blog.
Most of all, we want to hear from you. Please send your comments, photos, ideas and suggestions. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, an eco-minded company, an environmental organization or just someone who’s simply excited to help restore and protect our beautiful planet, Laneo is designed for you.
Drop me a line anytime at mail (at) laneo.org.
Sincerely,
Andrew Paterson
Founder, Laneo
