One of my favorite places and causes is the Ocean. Moving to Southern California has been a wake up call of sorts on how polluted and pathetic our oceans have become. Growing up in Hawaii, beach closures and sewage spills were non-existent. But out here it's a common problem that people have become numb to when they hear it in the news. So I guess there's no surfing this weekend in LA with yet another sewage spill at Dockweiler and Venice beach today (plus Malibu is flat!). Everybody here gripes about the sewage spill for about 2 minutes then it's back to business as usual. Luckily there's organizations like Heal the Bay and the Surfrider Foundation who are trying to shake the system and get some action (or at least accountability) for the ocean's pollution. So take some action yourself and join your local Surfrider chapter or participate in your local Beach Cleanup Day, and let's help clean up our beaches and oceans for the sake of surfers, swimmers, and the aquatic life. Stacia is a proud retail member of the Surfrider Foundation and a Heal the Bay member. Become a Surfrider member today and you will receive 10% off your purchases at shopstacia.com for life!
