We hold the following goals for this website to answer an expressed need by our Dirt! readers to have the ability to:

• Look down the road for events happening farther in the future
• Explore the complexities and further educate ourselves regarding various issues we face as a society
• Participate in interactive discussions with other members of The Dirt! Community
• Create an opportunity for events to be sorted and searchable by category depending on the interests of the viewer.

As such, we hope that this website:

• Connects people to what is happening in the environmental community,
• Facilitates information flows.
• Provides a space to mutually encourage each other to become involved and to think about the issues we face today.
• Explore ideas on how to foster and care for our connection to the natural world
• Acts as a useful tool for folks to share resources on ways we can incorporate more sustainable choices into our diverse lifestyles.
