The subject of global warming is a hot topic and is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
Climate change

Going green
The subject of global warming is a hot topic and is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

We are what we wear
In these days of global brand loyalty with surfers the world over covered head to toe in those brand logos we all know and love so much, it seems true that we are what we wear. But do we really know or care what we wear, how it is made, what it is made of and who …
Surfing for the planet - 100% Cotton, No thanks
Fledgling surfwear retailer ZooZoo2.com founded by 12 year old Molly and still less than a year old, is trying to teach the big boys a bit about environmentally conscious surf retailing. Unlike many of the big mainstream retailers Molly and ZooZoo2 have decided to sell only organic cotton T-shirts and clothing.
