That's an excellent question, and it's something we have spent a fairly significant amount of time discussing here.
Because of the nature of Earth Rangers' mission, which is engaging children and their families on environmental issues and empowering them to get actively involved in them, we don't feel it would be appropriate for our audience to be used for advocacy. They really are not at an age where they can think for themselves. So they trust in Earth Rangers, they trust in their teachers, and they trust in their parents to provide them with guidance. Because of that we have strict policies in place that none of our corporate partners, or individuals or governments for that matter, have any direct say in the message we provide to our members.
We provide them with objective and scientifically proven facts about various environmental issues, whether it be climate change, pesticides, or deforestation, but we don't engage them in any kind of advocacy activities. That's why we're able to take donations and funding from a variety of sources.
Like Terri said, as long as the relationship is mutually beneficial and the organization is providing us with much-needed funding for our programs and has a commitment to that program, we are usually comfortable with it.
