SUSTAINABLE PLAY's mission is to publish thoughtful outdoor narratives consistent with the notion of sustainable development: cultivating wellness through wilderness in a manner that preserves the wild for those who follow.

Although Sustainable Play isn't strictly environmental, adventure, or nature writing, it is writing that celebrates wildness. Sustainable Play's founder and Editor-in-Chief, Brad Rassler, is also an organizational development consultant and executive coach. His stories have appeared in Ascent, Alpinist, Climbing, Outside, Powder, Sierra, and other outdoor publications. His first feature profile, "Running Talus," a cover story for Climbing magazine, explored the environmental movement to use nuts rather than pitons in Yosemite Valley. Please drop us a line.
