About Us
      
 
The mission of MOTHER NATURE NETWORK can be found at the top of every page on our site:  “Improve Your World.”  
 
But while many sites limit “your world” to only "your planet,” MNN defines it in much broader terms. Just as your world encompasses many different aspects—your family, your health, your lifestyle, your business, your community……AND your planet—so too does MNN.  
 
With a goal of providing the most accurate and up-to-date news and information available, we cover the broadest scope of environmental news and social responsibility issues on the internet. And, we do so in a way that is engaging and easy-to-understand. As opposed to scientists, activists or experts—MNN is designed for the rest of us—everyday people who simply want to make our world better.
