Members of the public that actually involved themselves in activities and sports utilizing the surf, sea and ocean see first hand the changes that time, pollution and industry have caused.

As an Australian who not only Surfs, Dives and swims but a Petroleum Engineer working offshore I think there needs to be more extensive monitoring and data collection as mentioned above ALL over the world..

Great read,
Dave

I wish we had a better system here in San Diego. I surf primarily close to the border of Mexico in an area called Imperial Beach where the sewage spills and run off can get bad. We typically only find out about the spills days after they happen. Makes for a sick week at work.

I like this place! I love the idea and wish there was a place like this in Astoria, Queens. I am a surfer and found a “real surfer bar” in Point Break NYC. I am kinda jealous ;0PIts filled with surfers, people who like surfers, people who like the beach and people who don’t want to live close to town. I really like this place. You know what they have these real Proctor and Channel One surfboards on the wall. It’s nice for coming any day of the week and eating a late brunch. The food was outstanding. The brunch and sides were prefect and tasty. It is a perfect “escape” from city living. It is probably one of the only places where you can get a nice frozen pina colada or margarita. The service was on hit. They came up and checked on us so many times and made sure everything was up to par. It gets very active and the bartenders keep everybody having a good time. The bartender was very accommodating. He was nice enough to make a drink, that wasn’t on the menu, for me :0) Did I mention the bartenders are nice eye candy. It was amazing to see their “das boot” which is shaped like a boot filled with beer. Don’t get me wrong, I am not drunk…it’s an actual boot shaped beer container ready to be emptied. Try it ..You will love it!! Oh. How can I forget, they even have a wheel o’ shots where you just have to spin it and have to drink whatever shot it lands on!! Now call that bar creativity at its best!!! And when I spill a tray full of shots on myself, the bartender so kindly remakes them for me? Good music, too, and the decor helped us weather an otherwise overcast and rainy day. You know that old song “Brandy”? It goes, “Brandy, you’re a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea.” I believe Brandy works here. No reason, I just do. And that song happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine, so that’s a plus in my book. You can simply waltz over to this colorful and warm establishment, enjoy some drinks with friends, and walk home. The bar is right at the center, so you can walk to either side for drinks, and the bartenders are friendly and at your service. There is a variety of seating, good music, and friendly neighborhood people to make your time more enjoyable. Not pretentious, very cozy, I think Point Break is a fabulous place to spend some time with friends.

IBM’s credibility in advanced environmental IT domains would be greatly enhanced if IBM’s CEO could use his political clout to convince Obama to go to the climate summit in Copenhagen. Please speak up for a strong climate deal. We need the best brains in the world to avoid a climate disaster.

Hi! I have an IBM computer but since IBM only got 43 out of 100 in climate score, I plan to buy a second hand computer next.

Hello Adam,

It is excellent that IBM puts its technological knowledge to the service of the environment through projects like the one described here. But there is another even simpler way that IBM can help the environment.

Please ask Mr Samual Palmisano to assert the environmental stance of IBM and help get a strong international climate deal in Copenhagen, by simply rebuking the US Chamber of Commerce for its opposition to climate change. Many people are counting on you as a last chance for help.

Yours sincerely, Ms Howard (British citizen working for the Tourist Board in Southern France).

While I applaud IBM for being on top of Greenpeace’s leaderbaord, I politely urge your company to speak up for a strong deal in Copenhagen regarding climate change. Please use your clout with governments for international climate action.

Hi Sam P.-

We’d all (the majority of people in the world) be really appreciative if you’d talk to President Obama about taking a trip to Copenhagen and making the US an influential leader in reducing toxic emissions. Maybe you guys could head there together and really make a trip of it. Denmark right before Christmas is supposed to be just magical.

Sincerely,

Jenn B.
