Hey guys, my name is Ryan and I am the creator of GreentTideSurf.com.  This is an online community where surfers and people interested in surfing can create profiles to upload pictures, videos, and music.  Also, I upload new pictures, videos, and surf news to the site a couple times a week.  It is free to create a profile and once you have created one you can talk to people similar to facebook.  
  If I get enough people to join the network, I am planning on producing GreenTideSurf tee shirts to sell.  If anyone actually bought any, I would donate a large percentage of the proceeds to a green organization or to a organization focused on cleaning beaches.  
  If you get a free minute, create an account; its for a good cause and you will probably find some things of interest to you.  
  Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how I might change the site, I am happy to hear them.  Thanks.

i tried accessing your website, but failed.  maybe its because of  my server.  anyway, i'll try later.

do you know that there is a group or movement called "green zinc".  its a coincidence that you and they have evidently the same goal and almost identical names.

they are manila-based surfers who donated a garbage truck to the municipality of san juan, la union to collect the garbage there, particularly in the spots where people surf.  the garbage truck was turned over during the recent msa surf comp in la union.  they also donated garbage bins and made arrangement with the resort owners and the mayor so that 2 full-time garbage collectors pick up trash at the surf spot in urbiztondo.  finally, they also sell t-shirts to  fund their next project which is to establish water treatment facilities in the same area.  their t-shirts are on sale now in most surf shops in manila and in la union.  

thanks to them the surf breaks in san juan, la union are now noticeably cleaner.

if you want to see some pictures of the t-shirts and the people involved (who were wearing them), they're posted at manilasurfers.multiply.com.  i think their contact details are also there.

those who are part of the movement usually sport green zinc oxide marks on their faces (hence, the name) and can be seen picking up trash (usually, or supposedly).

i'm sure this group would be very interested to coordinate with someone like you who is exerting efforts for cleaner and safer beaches.

here's a guy who cares about the environment and is doing something about it.  cheesy

a toast to you, ryan.
