According to the Sport & Development International Platform, there are
an estimated 20 million snowboarders worldwide.
?The 'eco-s' wave hopes to make environmental action second nature
among the global snowboarding community, not just to preserve the
pristine snowfields, but the global environment, and not just while
snowboarding, but in every aspect of daily life. By instilling this
awareness among the estimated 20 million snowboarders worldwide, they
will have a major contribution to preserving the natural environment
and mountain sports for all our future generations.?
