New: Surfrider San Diego's Personal Ashtrays

The Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter & Hold On To Your Butt (HOTYB) Committee is excited to introduce ... Surfrider pocket ashtrays! The ashtrays are made out of tin - Rise Above Plastics!

It's important to responsibly dispose of your butts because the filters are made out of plastic. As a result, the cigarette butts are not biodegradable. They also contain chemicals, which are released into the environment when dropped down a storm drain or flicked onto the sidewalk.

Look for these personal ashtrays at San Diego Chapter events or contact the San Diego Chapter at HOTYB(@)surfridersd.org to order ashtrays! You can place a personal order for just one ashtray, or if you are a Surfrider Foundation Chapter then you can order in bulk for your chapter's use.

Not a smoker myself but love the concept and the design!

Hold Onto Your Butt!

In advance of a big 'Hold On To Your Butt' announcement later this week, the San Diego Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation has just put this great PSA online. Thanks to Marco Gonzalez (Executive Producer) and Ian O'Roarty (Director/Producer) for creating it.

Nevermind Where Does Your Water COME FROM? Where is it GOING?

This video series is too good - had to post it. Starring Marty, of the Surfrider Foundation's San Diego Chapter.

PLEASE don't water your driveway ... or the sidewalk.











And while I'm on requests, if you are a smoker then please "hold onto your butt." Cigarette butts are NOT biodegradable. The cigarette filter is made out of PLASTIC.
