Dear Surfrider Foundation Member,
We want to let you know about a way you can help support Surfrider Foundation and help get plastic off our beaches!
As an earth-friendly alternative for customers, Ralphs Supermarkets is introducing a new reusable shopping bag. The reusable bags are now available in all Southern California Ralphs stores, just in time for Earth Day.
Customers can buy 2 bags for $3 and for each bag purchased, 50 cents will be donated to Earth Share of California. Earth Share will then distribute the funds to six environmental groups: The Surfrider Foundation, San Diego Coastkeeper, Environmental Defense Center, The Sierra Club and the San Gorgonio Wilderness Association. The bags, which are black and feature the logos of these six partners, are recyclable, washable, and available for purchase in all Ralphs stores throughout Southern California.
Ralphs purchased an initial order of 100,000, so with the public's help, these six groups will split a minimum of $50,000!
Apart from the obvious benefit to the environment of reducing the number of plastic shopping bags, customers will receive 5 cents, per bag, off their grocery bill each time they are used.
So get out to your local Ralphs Supermarket and support the Surfrider Foundation while helping to get plastic bags out of our landfills, beaches and waterways!!!
Mahalo!
Lines in the Sand - A Blog for Surfrider San Diego
The San Diego County coastline is heavily populated in most places. Lines in the sand from beach 'grooming' tractors are more common than nature's beauty, wind driven lines in the sand. Part of that is good because it shows that many people are enjoying our lovely beaches but part of it is bad because it shows we are not taking care of our lovely beaches. That's where Surfrider comes in with a message of CARE - Conservation, Activism, Research and Education. As an organization, sometimes we need to draw lines in the sand on important issues. As a volunteer based organization, Surfrider is you.....so get involved.

Many local businesses are Surfrider Retail Members and give both the the environment as well as other Surfrider members. These are stores and shops you may already shop at, but don't know that you could be receiving a discount each time you purchase from them just by showing your Surfrider membership card. Go Here for a complete list of Retail Members so you will know where to shop from now on.
