Breathe Interactive

Breathe Magazine, a Pioneer partner of Leave No Trace Canada, has again thrown its support behind understanding and mitigating the impacts of our self-propelled recreational activities.

Breathe’s partnership with Leave No Trace Canada in 2008 provides an opportunity for subscribers and Leave No Trace members and partners to share their stories; the good, the bad and the ugly, of experiences on trips, in our parks or wherever we roam, of recreation impacts witnessed, perpetrated or addressed and the actions that resulted. Breathe magazine wants to share your stories with its readers about the diverse array of recreational impacts and the corresponding effects. Stories are welcome that demonstrate both the negative aspects of recreation and the positive impact practices that can be associated with these impacts. Share your stories of adventures that left no trace and of those that did not! Stories selected for print in each issue of Breathe in 2008 will be awarded a Leave No Trace t-shirt! Breathe Magazine is a voice for the outdoor adventure and endurance sport enthusiast and a leader in fostering a global community, starting with our home and land familiar to the adventure sports - Canada
