i'll believe you want clean air and water when you bring manufacturing back to the US

The power is in the choice you make with your money.

See Patagonia treadde.

 

If I open a tailpad factory in the US, will you and all of your friends pay $75 for my made in USA product?

 

Astrodeck. Made in San Clemente, CA. And they're only $39.95

 

Hammer Traction from St. Pete area of Florida

$37.99

I believe in this sentiment. There is a price to pay one way or another for our decisions. You can't claim to be an environmentalist and take private jets, limousines, etc. You can't lecture people about the environment and endorse industry's that destroy that very same environment. It reminds me of a fat person saying they believe in animal rights, explain to me how you care about animals when your over consuming their flesh and leaving parts of them dead on your plate. Explain how you care about children as you advocate cultural changes that lead them down paths that are known to lead to lifelong health and emotional problems.

The end truth is we are all hypocrites. The main difference being some of us realize it and are willing to admit the inconsistencies and work towards a solution. The other side likes to shout and lecture while secretly enjoying the fruits of their self dishonesty. Start making pads here and I will buy them if you can prove how your helping the planet.

 

I never use traction pads, BOOM, I'm saving the environment. Say 'No' to pads.

 

That's funny after I wrote my rant above I realized that I don't use them either

Based on this, I think you could probably find any sort of surf gear you need, made here in the USA. Will it all be environmentally friendly? Doubtful, but that's ok as long as they are not claiming to be?

i'm all for china polluting themselves to death

 

did you hear about how the chinese gov't temporarily shut down an entire region's factories, and the residents saw the blue sky for the first time in recent memory? Sounds like they are well on their way...

 

I'm ok with massive deployments of Lyme infected ticks throughout the entire country.

 

Ha, good one dude.
