The world is greener than ever before and surfers should be on the front lines. I am not talking politics here. This isn’t about red and blue. I am talking about the other additive primary color: green. Green does not define you as a hippie or a liberal or a tree hugger. It doesn’t mean you have to put vegetable oil in your gas tank or eat strictly fiber and hemp products.
Being green is about being human.
Regardless of whether your status is weekend warrior or a dawn patrol local, and regardless of whether you never get in the water and just enjoy a beautiful beach for your romantic interludes, you, my friend, are green.
Do you care? And I am talking very generally here: do you just care about stuff? Do you love beautiful things? If you answered yes, then you, my friend, are green.
Do you hate things that are false and corrosive? Do you despise excess and waste in any form? Guess what? Then you, my friend, are green.
What about evil? Do you hate it? Then you, my friend, are green.
Do you like sunshine and warm baths and sleeping in? Do you like days off and holidays? Then you, my friend, are green.
Am I getting my point across?
Now that you know you aren’t wholly defined by red or blue, it is time to know what you have to do as a wholesome human being. And to find out some guidelines for your new identity, surf over to the Surfrider Foundation for some useful tips.
Warning: Answering “no” to any of the above questions means that you are very possibly dead inside. Please consult your local parish for help. Or just start surfing.
