Chile Relief - a One Photo Update

Here's a quick shot of our Chile earthquake relief team at work. We built this greenhouse and now the ladies shown below are growing and selling flowers from it. With the profits they're rebuilding the homes destroyed in their neighborhood! They're doing really well. Photo by Geoffrey Ragatz.

Organization joins Save The Waves Coalition in support for Malibu World Surfing Reserve

September 1, 2010 – World Surfing Reserves and Save The Waves Coalition announced collaboration with Project Save Our Surf, an organization dedicated to ocean and marine ecosystem conservation. Project SOS works in Southern California to advocate for clean beaches and oceans.

“Project Save Our Surf is in full support of the Malibu World Surfing Reserve, and is joining Save The Waves to help preserve one of our most sacred habitats: cherished surf breaks,” said actress, surfer and PSOS founder Tanna Frederick. “Malibu is being designated not only for its world class surf, but for its diverse wildlife, coastal ecosystem and native land as well.”

Lots of people having fun means lots of waste to compost and recycle.


Grow your own salad!


Dean and Emily are awesome.
