The debate within conservation often centers around the false construct of “It stays if it pays”.  To the contrary, RAGES supports demand reduction campaigns that encourage Rotarians to “be informed and buy informed”, campaigns that promote the notion of “It pays if it stays”.  In the context of promoting healthy landscapes and healthy communities, RAGES further supports efforts and initiatives that lead to decreases in consumption of endangered species and their habitat.  Often responsible consumption and pro-environmental choice making simply comes down to “Say NO!”.   Please consider joining our Say NO! forum and make your voice heard.  Soon we will have Say NO campaign materials available for you to use in a presentation to your Rotary, Rotaract, and/or Interact club.  We encourage the Say NO! campaign being presented to schools and community clubs to message communities that Rotary is concerned and doing something about our environment.
