Today we are very proud to say that we have partnered with the Lisbon Surfrider Foundation and decided to donate 1€ of every order through our online shop to them.

What does the Lisbon Surfrider Foundation do?

Lisbon Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to protect and showcase the importance of lakes, rivers, the ocean, waves, and coastlines along Portugal. It was important for us to choose a local partner which is equally connected to our beloved oceans as us and shares the same mission of fighting plastic pollution in our oceans.

Kick-off beach cleanup in Lisbon

In order to launch our partnership, we have done a beach clean up together. 30 motivated volunteers showed up Saturday morning and helped us to keep the beautiful beaches around Lisbon clean. The amount of microplastic we found on the beaches was shocking! Together with the Surfrider Foundation, we are planning on continuously doing these events in order to increase our local impact, raise awareness and help fight the challenges our environment is currently facing.

If you want to support us in organizing such events or have other ideas to rescue our oceans that you would like to realize with us and/ or Surfrider, please don’t hesitate to contact us!!

THANK YOU! For taking responsibility and for making an effort to get the best out of the critical environmental situation we are in. You will be the ones that our children and grandchildren will thank one day. Instead of blaming other parties for the causes of climate change, plastic pollution, and whatnot, you are part of the change and take your role in defining the future of our planet.

We know that being you is not the easy path. Every easy day to day situation gets difficult when you always have to question: “Where did this come from?“, “What is it made of?“, “Who produced this in what conditions?“, “How did this get here?“.. And unfortunately also “Whom can I really trust?“. You probably know best that whatever is labelled “Green” doesn’t necessarily mean that there is “Green” inside. 

We took the same path. We carefully chose every component of our product and packaging, chose a production place where we could just step by to say “hi” and try to keep our supply chain as controllable and clean as possible. We know we are not perfect yet, but we are working every day on getting better and with every step we take, we have our environment on top of our mind. 

The WONDA office is a glasshouse

We cannot offer perfection, but what we can offer is being fully transparent with what we do, so that you at least don’t have to spend hours doing research. And: other brands can learn from what we do to make it easier for them to take the sustainable path. And that profits all of us, right?

Therefore we started this blog series. Subscribe if you like and start reading our first article.
