Save the Earth, one skateboard at a time

Friday June 27, 2008
There's a lot of talk about Green this and that. Everyone is aware that something isn't quite normal with the weather, and we all seem to agree now that pollution stinks. We're looking for better ways to get places than burning gas, but what can you do about it all?

Well, I don't think it takes a genius to notice that skateboarding is extremely environmentally friendly. You might chip up some curbs, mark some rails or break an arm, but in every other way skateboarding is about as Green as you can get. So, if you care about the planet, you really should skate. Buy a skateboard, and stop global warming. Or at least save money on gas!

Another good way to help the environment is to stop using so much paper. Recycling works, but why not cut out the middle man and just stop using paper all together? That's part of the idea that Concrete Wave skateboarding magazine thought up when they started to offer their magazines free online. Free. That's a good price.

If you have some other ideas, post 'em below!

buy blanks - ink is bad for the universe.
skate naked - cotton is generally bad for the environment.
mock people in SUVs - they bought them to look cool, when they dont look cool anymore, they might sell them.

Just put yourself in the mindset to help the enviornment. Make it a priority, a focus, and actively think about it, and how to help it. If you do that, then you will unconciously help the enviornment more than anything else.

(My opinion anyways…)
