For the second consecutive year, Yokohama is partnering with the Surfrider Foundation’s North OC Chapter of the nationally recognized nonprofit Surfrider Foundation USA on various to projects to protect the world’s ocean, waves and beaches for all to enjoy.
“Yokohama is extremely honored to be working again alongside Surfrider Foundation’s North OC Chapter to help them contribute to a sustainable society through numerous initiatives to protect the environment,” says Alan Holtschneider, Yokohama’s director of marketing.
“For example, Yokohama employees will once again volunteer on beach cleanups. Last summer, we contributed to the pick-up and removal of 264 pounds of trash at the San Gabriel Jetty at Seal Beach, Calif.”
Holtschneider added Yokohama will continue to support Surfrider Foundation’s North OC Chapter with the distribution of student club memberships; water quality testing kits; biodegradable utensils, straws, etc., starter kits for restaurants wanting to become ocean friendly; cigarette butt collection canisters; and replacement equipment for harbor cleanups.
“Yokohama will also be able to send two to three volunteers to Washington, DC and Sacramento, Calif., in 2025 to speak with elected officials regarding the issues and solutions impacting our coastline,” he added.
