Mountain Equipment Co-Op Community Contributions Review Committee has just send me one of the best e-mails I have received in a while…

The good folks at MEC have decided to stand up and support the upcoming OceanGybe School Tour and our OceanGybe Youth Plastic Awareness Campaign. Through their 1% For The Planet commitment, MEC supports all sorts of environmentally active non-profit groups to help them achieve their goals and bring their messages of conservation, education or exploration to a greater audience.

MEC strives to demonstrate leadership in self-propelled outdoor recreation and sustainability, and we fulfill this role in part by supporting like-minded organizations such as yours.

We are over the moon to have MEC standing up and showing their support for OceanGybe.We are now able to really plan to maximize our school tour and really present our message and all our findings in the best way possible. Stand-by after Xmas for more details and opportunities to get us to come by your town/school.

Sitka Surfboards continue to help us with the school tour through their Jar of Shame Program, and the boys at Northernites are always willing to throw down to help us out.
