My green effort for the planet: In terms of the green effort that I am making I suppose I try to associate myself with products that are created by environmentally responsible companies.
My sponsors invest in reneable energy and recycled products for example Fischer investing in renewable energy: http://www.fischersports.com/en/Alpine/Company/Eco-Page ,
Surfanic making outerwear out of recycled product http://www.surfanic.com/PRD_ProductDetail.aspx?cid=172&prodid=15664&Product=Husty-Mens-Snowboarding-Jacket-Recycled-Red ,
Smith with their environmentally friendly 'evolve' range: http://smithoptics.eu/products/#/Evolve/ and Incline merino being wool that is bred, shorn and sewn in NZ: http://www.inclinenz.com/#!about-incline
Also my goal for myself to change this year is to investigate which travel options are more environmentally friendly,
we do so much travelling now that I think it's worth looking at! Sometimes they're the same price too so that's an easy choice.
