One of our favorite topics on tour. Great read!
“Sentient or not sentient, intelligent or not, the life of the planet is green...The life on the Earth is possible just because plants exist,” said Mancuso. “Is not a matter of preserving plants: plants will survive. The conservation implications are for humans: fragile and dependent organisms.”

Please share your comments :)

Jeremy Hance: A new book, Brilliant Green, argues that not only are plants intelligent and sentient, but that we should consider their rights, especially in the midst of the Sixth Mass Extinction

Thank You Leah Dawson! “If someone watches me ride a wave, I want them at the end of it to know that I’m in love with the ocean.” says Leah. “It makes my heart sing when I see other women out celebrating in the water and just playing and rejoicing,” says Dawson. “They’re not trying to do tricks, and they’re not trying to become number one in the world. They’re just going out for their daily medicine."

“My biggest compliment is not that I surf like a man, but that I surf like a woman.”

....With all these nutritional benefits, and the large amounts of money we spend on supplements to better our health, it seems purslane should be elevated from w**d status to health-boosting, everyday food. Purslane packs a powerful nutritional punch, for certain. - See more at: http://www.viralalternativenews.com/2015/10/stop-its-not-just-w**d-its-one-of-most.html .o4SI4FRN.dpuf

"The surfer’s relationship with nature may be the most important part of my job. I see surfers as the environment’s first responders. We experience the ocean firsthand. We’re the first to see when it’s polluted. We’re the first to see when a beach is contaminated. As surfers, we value the ocean like a family member, not an economic resource.
Surfers do business, too. We own businesses. I own several businesses myself. But good business shouldn’t mean destruction of marine life and it shouldn’t mean denying the effects of human lifestyles." -Mark Healy

You know that thing when you’re at party and it’s kind of tedious having to explain your job to people? Well, I’m no different.

"YES, THERE ARE GORGEOUS BEACHES. Majestic volcanoes. Incredible rainforest. Fantastic wildlife. But perhaps the best thing about Costa Rica is its people, their culture, and what they can teach us northerners about how to live. It’s in their very language — a philosophy of letting go, relaxing, and knowing how to enjoy life."

Cinnamon Hummingbird is completely cinnamon below, with bronze-green upperparts. It is common in dry forests, where it is present year round; but in seasons when resources are less available, some individuals may move to higher elevations, some even reaching pine and pine-oak forests. Cinnamon Hummingbird occurs along the Pacific slope from western Mexico south to northwestern Costa Rica, and also on the Yucatan Peninsula in southeastern Mexico and in Belize

I am creativity, intuition, adventure
Listen deeper tune in to me

Where imagination and reality connect"

We teach balance. Not just balance on your surfboard in the water, but balance between nature and yourself. A balance that our society has forgotten. Our surf lessons bring people CLOSER TO NATURE, this we promise will change your life and the life of people around you.

"There is wisdom in waves. Some surfers see it right away, others never do. To find success in surfing, we must learn to be in HARMONY WITH NATURE. This will bring a sense of peace. By sharing this peace, and contributing to other people's happiness, we can find the true meaning of life. Keep surfing . . . -- Gerry Lopez

Keep Surfing Dan & Angela. PURA VIDA

"Palo Santo the surf company showed us the real Costa Rica surf culture. They really went the extra mile and we had so much fun with them. They were professional but so authentic in their passion for their country and surfing. It was inspiring." Bonnie Schotland (NYC)
