A Sustainable Ride

As gas prices are reaching $4.00 a gallon here in California, we've noticed a lot more "commuters" getting from place-to-place by skateboard and scooter. Wondering what skateboard companies are up to today, I came across a lot of innovative companies. Comet Skateboards is one of them; creating very cool skateboards using sustainably-harvested materials, like poplar and hickory for the core and durable bamboo and maple for the veneer. Comet also uses all water-based low VOC coatings to reduce the risk to their staff, their customers and in a collective effort to reduce the effects of global warming.

Located in downtown San Francisco, Comet Skateboards are designed and manufactured in the world's only solar-powered skateboard factory.  Comet Skateboards is actively working with companies and universities worldwide to assist in developing "green" bio-based epoxies, reinforcements, and coatings for the future.

I give a lot of credit to this company's efforts and those buying a product that's good for the earth and good to ride. Check them out.
