THIS IS A V.CO-LOGICAL EVENT.

So what does that mean?

For the Volcom Pipeline Pro, we teamed up with TR3EES, a Green Event Solutions & Sustainability Consultant based in Hawaii, to ensure that we are doing what we can, reporting on what we did and didn’t do, and then strategizing on how we can improve on the next go-around.

During the course of the contest, we’ll keep you posted on the daily developments of the Greening of the Volcom Pipeline Pro, so stay tuned.

V.CO-LOGICAL INITIATIVES:

Single Use, Plastic Bottle (SuPB) Free Contest – Please do NOT bring a Single Use, Plastic Bottle to the contest. Instead, pick up one of our custom Volcom Pipleline Pro, stainless steel water bottles by MIZU and fill up at one of our bulk water stations!

Reusables – All our contestants and staff are being outfitted with a VPP water bottle, an organic tote bag from E-Conscious, and a set of reusable bamboo utensils from To-Go Ware.

Recycling – Be sure to bring reusable products, but if you didn’t be sure to recycle your cans, plastics, and glass bottles at one of our recycling stations.

ZERO Waste – Sure we won’t hit this, but we’re sure trying. We’ll measure our efforts and note where we can improve.

We’d like to thank the following partners for their support and the great products they provided. Be sure to stop by the ASP Merch Booth to pick up your set of Volcom Pipeline Pro Low-Impact reusables!

VOLCOM PIPELINE PRO: A V.CO-LOGICAL EVENT PARTNERS

Our mission is to use business, event leaders, and audiences to raise awareness about environmental stewardship through outreach and education, exemplification, waste reduction and management.

MIZU
Hi, we’re Mizu. Like you, we give a damn. And creating positive change doesn’t require moving into a tree house or sailing around the world in a boat made of trash. A simple choice to stop buying plastic water bottles will save you money and the environment at the same time.

So if you like killing baby fur seals and spending tons of dough to do it, then keep buying plastic water death… errrr, we mean bottles. Or you could fill up a re-usable stainless steel Mizu bottle that doesn’t rob you of a couple bucks every time you’re thirsty. They also don’t end up in our oceans, mountains, rivers and all the playgrounds that inspire our lives.

Sounds good, right? Our advocates push our cool factor through the roof (you know, if the whole green thing seems played to you), and they actually believe in our product.

So, it’s not if, it’s when, right? Extreme water drinking is the future. And the future got here yesterday. Join Mizu and you’re one step closer to riding dolphins. But seriously, do it.

Menehune Brand
The Hawaiian Islands are one of the world’s most isolated landmasses. Their volcanic origin, abundant rainfall and clean air provide ideal, natural conditions for pure drinking water.Our water begins as abundant rainfall within an environmentally-pristine, virgin rain forest. This exceptional water naturally filters through thousands of feet of lava rock and forms an underground aquifer which becomes our source.

Known and loved in Hawaii since the company’s inception, both “kamaiana” (i.e., local residents) and tourists alike seek out Menehune brand water for their daily water needs.

VOLCOM V.CO-LOGICAL & 1% FOR THE PLANET PARTNERS

1% for the Planet
Not long ago, a mountain climber and a fisherman realized they had a lot more in common than a disdain for wearing a suit to work. Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, were also passionate environmentalists that happened to be running successful businesses. More important, they understood it was good business to protect the natural resources that kept them in business. And the rest is history…

1% for the Planet exists to build and support an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy planet.
