Volunteer Spotlight - Annie Gibson
| How long have you volunteered with SFVI? | Since December 2012 |
| Why did you become involved? | I love being near water and I’ve been cleaning more garbage off of them over the years. When I found that Surfrider was trying to do something about it, I had to join in...Protect what you love! |
| What are you most excited about working on with SFVI in 2017? | Wavehunt 2017 at China Beach on February 25! |
| What’s your favourite outdoor activity? | Anything near a beach: cyling to a beach, sleeping on a beach, surfing, swimming, SUP, bbq, beach clean ups...it’s all good... |
| What is the #1 thing you are doing to save our oceans? | Refusing plastic straws when I order a drink and encouraging businesses to replace them with paper straws or no straws. If I really need to use a straw, I’ll use a metal or glass one instead. |
| What is your #1 tip to reduce single-use plastics? | I set up a little kit of fabric bag, jars, cup and spork and try to remember to bring it with me in case I eat drink or shop (which happens often..) |
| Name a local business or person you support because of their environmental practices. | There are so many great local businesses to choose from, it’s hard to pick just one: Ingredients, Soap Exchange, Mother Nature, Habit Coffee, Big Wheel Burger, Moksha Yoga, Nezza Naturals, 10 Acres... |
