The Organization protecting our Blue Oceans is Green!



As we in So Cal and around the world celebrate the Surfrider Organization's 25th anniversary, I thought I'd let you know about an exciting green happening with the local chapter. They recently moved to their new eco-friendly offices in San Clemente.
What makes the offices green?

  • Reused furniture, recycled materials, donated artwork and surfboard memorabilia to start with.

  • Energy efficiency through automated lighting fixtures, using natural lighting as much as possible and task lighting, which gives each employee control over the lighting of their own workspace.

  • Water efficient fixtures

  • Natural ventilation

  • Reuse and repurpose of doors, frames, hardware from the precious office. They even used the door as desktops!

Membership is only $25 a year, check it out: https://www.surfrider.org/surfrider_membership/join/member_main.cfm
