That’s why Outside is stepping up to provide our first comprehensive Guide to Giving. At a time when we’ve got more than a tough few problems to contend with here on Earth, our December 2011 issue will shine a light on innovative thinkers and doers in the fields that most captivate Outside readers—everything from global environmentalism to ocean restoration to energy solutions to urban design to projects in far-off lands.

Flag ThisSurfrider Foundation. They do great job of keepiNg me informed of important issues affecting the environment, particularly the oceans, worldwide. i look forward to their emagazine, SOUP, every week.
Flag Thisyeah, definitely Surfrider Foundation for me. They do such a great job of protecting our coastlines and beaches and making sure our oceans are protected. Every week I get their weekly SOUPnwhich keeps me informed about enviornmental issues and up to date on the safety of our beaches. Way to go Surfrider Foundation.
Flag ThisI agree...Surfrider Foundation and Surfing the Nations are my 2 favorite related causes. Surfrider's Soup is always enlightening and provocative (example..shark jumps into boat- yikes) Surfing the Nations helps build awareness of a different kind- helping to change lives lost to drugs, alcohol, abuse and more to feeding the hungry, turning old buildings into community places for surfers and non surfers to congregate- awareness on a different level.
Flag ThisThe Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute is an excellent candiate for all the data that they have collected, discoveries made, and contributions they have made keeping tabs on our oceans.
