"Two bushes, one world."
There is making a difference and then there is MAKING A DIFFERENCE and notable environmentalists from here to there, including the very famous Greta Thunberg, are reeling, today, as the World Surf League released its much-anticipated 2023 annual Purpose & Impact report.
Mic stinkin’ dropped.
You certainly know that the “Global Home of Professional Surfing” is forever pushing the envelope when it comes to saving this Global Home. Bushes planted etc. But even the most locked in surf fan couldn’t image the vast extent of the purpose nor impact.
Per the unverified claims of the World Surf League’s One Ocean initiative:
-45,374 hectares of land protected or restored, including the protection of surf ecosystems in Hawaiʻi, Australia and Brazil and long-term reforestation projects in Uruguay through the surf league’s carbon offset portfolio
-100,000 corals planted through efforts with Coral Gardeners
-2 tons of plastic removed through river intervention projects in Latin America
-1,635 volunteers engaged across all One Ocean activations
-3,041 youths educated on cultural and environmental stewardship
I would, personally, like to know how to get in on the “surf league’s” carbon offset portfolio.
Why Uruguay?
Shut your gross polluting mouth.

Wow, 2tons of plastic. The WSL saving the planet 1 semi trailer load at a time
Correct me if I’m wrong but you live in Japan, yes?
Who audits this shit? At the risk of Chas actually doing some actual journalism and exposing them for obvious/blatant greenwashing and then shoving some 20+ stories down our throats some of these claims are dubious at best.
If it wasnt so infantile I’d be concerned about being sued by both greta (who has nothing to do with anything in this artice) or jjf for the ridiculous paternity article.
any release of > 5 gallons MUST be reported!
No mention of Kelly’s two artificial wave pools licensed by the WSL?
I’m pretty sure they aren’t helping the environment, are they?
“Shut your gross polluting mouth.” Lol!
I am not even talking about the manufacturing aspect. China stopped buying plastic in 2018. The fact of the matter is the US and other western countries claim to be recycling but they don’t do shit and they sell it off to the next country that wants to buy it. Malaysia, Thailand, Central America etc.
Most Western leaders long for the authoritarian power that Xi posses so they would never criticize their aspirational idol.
she’s a cruisian…
a Rosy one at that.
They could reconstitute all the man doo super shits taken by local unhoused scholars in front of their Main St. campus. Right next to the George Floyd murals and BLM signage; if they use to incinerate this instead of Coal, it makes for awesome press but has the same net effect that everything else they are doing… nothing.
All offset by Ziff’s Shale Oil companies!
Their numbers resemble my claims on wave heights I have ridden – highly dubious.
Can we get a breakdown of those stats? This is kinda like me claiming to help ‘millions’ of disadvantaged Australians every year (because I pay tax).
i luv these ‘clean-up studies’ but they left out the most notable finds: cigarette butts, by brand name.
And they conveniently leave our carbon emissions burnt while traversing the globe, or board manufacturing Un-sustainability (yes, not a word) etc etc
“I just sold my carbon tax..credits. and saved over %5-00 in rubles…guy my book…”
You can’t script that!
8 more of those with the longest in the middle and you have a menorah!
The other day I was standing looking at a map of South America with my buddy Joe who is from New York.
I pointed a particular blob of a border and asked “What’s that?”
Joes said “Uruguay.”
I said “I’m perfectly aware of my gender, thanks Joe. But what’s that country there on the map?”
3/10
Wait till the planetary map comes out.
natgeo uses DNA to find our dinosaur relatives…mangrove eaters~
Are you homer simpson?
These useless cunts should put a net on every rivermouth in Bali and see how many tonnes of garbage they collect in a single day. I know it’s passe to blam tourists (especially white ones) for everything but the trash that washes up on Bali beaches is domestic waste, and it’s a fucking disgrace.
Fact check: TRUE!
Offerings to the Gods…I mean Dogs.
I’m not, you are!
I hate to be the barrer of bad news but we send a shit ton of our trash overseas to make ourselves look better. So while other countries are polutting; a lot of their pollution is actually our pollution.
On the first day of the World Surf League, my true love (Elo) gave to me a Felipe Tee in a pear tree.
On the second day of World Surf League my true love (Elo) gave to me two unwanted hugs
and a Felipee Tee in a pear tree.
On the third day of World Surf League my true love (Elo) gave to me three French kisses,
two unwanted hugs, and a Felipe Tee in a pear tree.
Camping with Greta Thunberg would be more terrifying than camping with Jason Voorhees.
