How are they [doing](https://www.theinertia.com/environment/greg-long-and-sustainable-surf-on-protecting-our-oceans/)
it?

## 6 ways:

**1. Personal Health:** Focused on better food choices (including local, organic,
non-GMO) you can make, daily exercise doing something you love, and cultivating 
a positive daily state of mind.

**2. Waste Management:** Use of the 4 R’s — Refusing, [Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/surf-green-wave-reducing-the-environmental-footprint-of-surfing/)—
to limit the negative impacts of your larger consumer product choices (clothing,
surfboards, electronics, vehicles) and to boost the positive impacts of your daily
purchasing power for sustainable food & drink options.

**3. Renewable Energy:** Sourcing low carbon, renewable energy technology like solar,
wind, wave, and bio-fuels to power your daily lifestyle.

**4. Cleaner Transportation:** Better options include bikes, skateboards, ride sharing,
public transport and hybrid or electric vehicles.

**5. Community Outreach:** Getting personally involved with local and global environmental/
social groups who care about what you do – and volunteer your time.

**6. Climate Impact:** Reduce whatever you can, but then “offset” the [climate impacts](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/surf-green-wave-reducing-the-environmental-footprint-of-surfing/)
you can’t completely minimize – like plane & vehicle travel and use of electrical
energy, which produce lots CO2 gas emissions that are the largest drivers of rapid

acidification and sea level rise – with carbon credits from “certified” projects
around the globe.
