We find that:

The most rapidly vanishing resources on Earth are Peace and Quiet. Our creation of noise deprives ourselves and others of Peace and Quiet.

We pledge to whenever possible:

• Speak calmly rather than shout.
• Use a lawn rake rather than a leaf blower.
• Use a push mower rather than a power lawn mower.
• Shoot a camera rather than a gun.
• Walk or bike rather than drive a motor vehicle.
• Ski or snowshoe rather than ride a snowmobile.
• Sail rather than use a power boat
• Paddle rather than use a jet-ski.
• Observe and experience Earth’s wonders firsthand rather than from an airplane or helicopter.

We pledge to support decisions that:

• Favor nonmotorized uses of public lands, skies and waters.
• Provide safe, nonmotorized alternative routes to public highways.
• Favor public transportation over the proliferation of automobiles and asphalt.
