What’s involved?

Billabong has designed the following goods to raise awareness:

1. Wristbands.  There are 4 different coloured wristbands (Spirit, Inspire, Give & Love) available; each representing a different charity. The charities that you will be supporting are Reachout, the Australian Marine Conservation Society, Surfaid International and The Wilderness Society.

$3 from each wristband goes to the respective charity.

2. Need a new pair of boardies? Get yourself a pair of boardshorts made from recycled plastic bottles! Each pair of boardies saves about 10 plastic bottles from being dumped in the landfill.

3. Organic cotton style shirts. These shirts are made from cotton grown using low environmental impact techniques.

For more information about these goods and campaigns, check out Billabong's website.

I want to do this!
