Op June 8 we have paid attention to 'World Oceans Day' for kite surfers. First of all, of course, to celebrate our oceans, the North Sea and all water. Because without all this beauty it is nothing with kite surfing. That is why, in addition to celebrating, a cry for help is also heard. We also have to protect all that beauty. Now we draw your attention to signing the '30 × 30 'petition,' Climate babes' for World Oceans Day and good kite surfer habits.

Sign '30 × 30 'petition and' Climate babes' for World Oceans Day

This year's call is for governments around the world to agree to protect at least 30% of the land and the ocean by 2030. This means actively preserving intact ecosystems and wilderness. Scientists claim it takes half the planet in its natural state. In this way we can prevent the extinction of a million species, delay warming and protect all people. Signing the petition is a piece of cake and you do here.

Also the climate babes use their sights to draw attention to the subject and to sign the petition. Have a photo with a card or banner and get eternal fame via the twitter channel or on the website.

'World Oceans Day to Protect our Home'

The initiative has existed since 2003. It was already clear at the time that this was desperately needed because the oceans are threatened by plastic, CO2 pollution, chemical pollution and disturbance of the calm by radiation, for example.

Floating garbage dump

The most controversial and imaginative are perhaps the mountains of floating plastic waste. Literally floating rubbish dumps. We have still not gotten rid of that, despite good global initiatives, also devised and deployed by the Dutch. Like it ocean cleanup project.

Closer to home on our North Sea - World Oceans Day for kite surfers

Make us closer to home North Sea Foundation, Greenpeace and the World nature Fund has worked hard for years to protect all of us North Sea. And yes, you are very fond of the North Sea. Of course not only as a kite surfer for your own pleasure, because the North Sea is also very useful. It is also in the Netherlands changing climate. For example, there is more rain by the sea in the summer than before. This causes drought in the interior.

What you can do as a kite surfer

Well, let's list it. Close to home and without the Climate Babes for World Oceans Day. First start by determining how far do we want to go? Maybe so far that we take responsibility for our own behavior and want to have fun by kite surfing. We list some good kite surfer habits.

We say do

  • Stop using disposable plastics such as straws, plastic drinking bottles, cleaning cloths, disposable plastic, etc.
  • Do not leave any rubbish (plastic, etc.) on the beach. But also, take active waste and plastic with you if you see it.
  • Respect the designated kitesurf areas with which you can also respect the protected areas for birds, for example.
  • Respect temporarily cordoned off areas. For example, because at a certain moment a rare bird is breeding.
  • Separate your waste at home. Much has been said and written about it, but just do it.
  • Choose sustainable food and in particular sustainable fish.
  • Consume less and reduce your CO2 emissions. Do not do everything that is harmful to nature, but be aware of your impact on the environment and honor and respect nature.

We are curious about your (re) actions. Don't forget the petition to draw.

  1. If you really want to do something against climate change, distant kite destinations such as South Africa and Brazil are actually not an option ...
