At Future Eco Surf School we aim not only to teach you how to surf, but we also want to share with you our stoke and connection with nature and especially with the ocean. This can be a life-changing and inspiring process if done in a conscious and committed way.
At Future Eco Surf School we believe we can make a difference.
That together we can do more and better to help create a healthier planet and a fairer society.
Being conscious that with small steps we accomplish a long walk, we are at this stage restructuring our internal and operational procedures and strategies. It will allow us to enjoy nature to the fullest with minimum impact.
This date has been celebrated for nearly 50 years in 190 countries. This is not just another day, but an opportunity that we should not miss.
Sometimes called Planet Earth Day or Mother Earth Day, the purpose of this day is to make all the inhabitants of the planet aware that this is our home, so we must preserve it.
As millions of people around the world say, “There is no Planet B”.
Every year, on April 22, Earth Day marks the birth of the environmental movement created in 1970, which gave voice to an emerging public awareness about the state of our planet.

The most recent covid-19 pandemic that flooded the world, shook our lives and made us question everything we take for granted.
It is crucial for Humanity to live in harmony with Planet Earth, since all the resources that support our societies and the economy, come from it, let’s look for more sustainable initiatives on our planet.
Starting from an early age to instil a sense of responsibility and respect for nature, teaching the little ones is the right way for them to become more aware citizens in the future.
Carvoeiro, Lagoa
This is an important day to promote awareness and awareness of biodiversity, concern for the environment and the problem of pollution, in particular, in the oceans.
The desire to step on the sand on the beach, to enjoy the waves and the sea, to breathe fresh air which has started to have more importance than the material goods by which we are surrounded.
As a family, with friends or independently, we intend to celebrate World Earth Day as best as possible! Do not let this day pass and every other day to dedicate yourself to our most precious asset: our Planet.
Take care of our Planet the same way he takes care of us!
For all of you fellow adventure seekers, what are your plans once the sun goes down and the winter nights start to draw closer? For those living in the Arctic Circle in Tromsø, Northern Norway, the wintertime is when the fun really begins!
With unbelievably beautiful landscapes, incredible skies and many adventurous activities to experience, that is to say, Tromsø is a fantastic place to explore the untouched wilderness of the mountains in their winter glory.
Tromsø, Norway
What are you waiting for ?
Our partners Arctic Adventure Tours have been providing outdoor tourism for over 20 years. Rated in the top 5 activities in Tromsø, Arctic Adventure Tours provides self-drive dog sledding tours.
Just like us, this adventure has quality. They care and respect the dogs and the environment from start to finish.
The self-drive dog sledding tour allows you to drive your own team of huskies in pairs.
One as the driver and the other as the passenger. Plenty of opportunities to switch throughout the long journey across the mountainside.
Tromsø, Norway
The kennel is open for guests to explore, interact with the super friendly dogs and ask any questions they wish. After the tour returns to the kennel, you are welcomed into the cosy traditional Saami tent and will enjoy hot drinks and cake around the fire.
Here you will learn a little more about the kennel, the life of a sled dog and how the company grew from being a husband and wife team with a handful of dogs to the successful business that it is today.
Tromsø, Norway
For many who experience the power of a team of 6 huskies, the thrill is like nothing else. A feeling of raw nature, teamwork and pushing your physical boundaries. And if you really get ‘bitten by the bug’ remember there is always the Weeklong Dog Sledding Expedition!
If you are looking for a wintertime adventure fellow adventure seekers look no further! They have definitely found it for you with Arctic Adventure Tours!
We have offset some – the largest share, coming from the gas tank of our vans – of our emissions from 2020. We hope we can become carbon neutral by 2025, the latest.
Sustainability and carbon offsetting at the Future Eco Surf School
Everything we do has an impact on the planet we’re blessed to call home. The best we can do is to reduce this impact as much as we can.
At Future we’re conscious we still have a long road to travel when it comes to minimizing our carbon footprint and our overall ecological impact.
But we’re surely and proudly surfing this wave in the right direction.
When it comes to our carbon footprint – short for the greenhouse gas emissions we’re accountable for, which include other gases besides carbon dioxide like nitrous oxides or perfluorocarbons. We’re trying to reduce it as much as we can.
After getting to the huge number of kilometers our vans have traveled – some mind-blowing 81.000 km (50331 miles). Doing some maths on fuel consumption, we concluded that last year we were responsible for 21 tonnes of CO2eq.
At Future Eco Surf we stand with Mozambique’s households
We decided to back up a project certified by the Gold Standard. Which is, one of the top standards in this field and support a Portuguese speaking country: Mozambique.
Many people in Maputo (the capital) live in poor housing and hygienic conditions as basic services lack a little everywhere.
Some 95% of the population living in Maputo suburbs use cookstoves. These cookstoves have low energy efficiency and require large amounts of charcoal for daily cooking activities.
“Charcoal use has negative health impacts related to the smoke inhalation in addition to causing a economic pressure for the families. Charcoal production is also one of the main causes of the deforestation.”
Gold standard
The project we supported, named “Improved cookstoves in Chamanculo C, Maputo” involves the distribution of approximately 5,000 domestic fuel-efficient cook stoves to households. This action, improve the energy efficiency, conserve natural resources and improve living conditions for the local population.
The stoves will be sold to the families at a highly subsidised cost, in exchange for the rights to the Voluntary Emission Reductions (VERs), according to the Gold Standard. The company also says that without this project, the majority of families would not have access to fuel-efficient cook stoves due to economic constraints.

Carbon offsetting is not enough. A sustainable planet needs us to do more
Chamanculo C, Maputo, Mozambique
We’re aware of this.
Carbon offsetting is often used as an excuse for companies to keep on polluting without really making meaningful changes to the way they do business. And so no real effort is done to prevent this pollution in the first place.
Why is this bad? Because the greenhouse gas emissions companies produce are immediate and travel to the troposphere where they remain trapped way faster compared to, for instance, planting trees. We use this example because planting trees to offset emissions is one of the most widespread offsetting strategies.
Unfortunately, planting trees to sink a number of emissions equivalent to what has been emitted can take years or even decades – depending on the species planted or the soil’s health.
For this and a couple of other reasons, carbon offsetting is not a solution, it simply mitigates the problem.
That’s why we are reviewing our entire value chain to prevent/minimize these emissions beforehand. The goal is to offset increasingly fewer greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years, meaning we would truly be polluting less at the source.
And we’re targetting not only the emissions from our vans’ pipes but also other scopes of emissions. Emissions, coming for example, from our employees, clients or suppliers.
There’s a saying that goes more or less like this: “the planet needs many imperfect ecologists, not a few perfect ecologists”.
