Not even the most jaded asshole can front on etnies’ “Buy a Shoe Plant a Tree” program which has planted 200,000 trees in only two years in both Costa Rica and Brasil, two nations with some of the most crucial deforestation problems in the world. They are back at it again for 2013 with a greater commitment to Brasil and an entire collection dedicated to the cause, hit the jump to see all the included kicks.

Hopefully by this time you aren’t online reading this but instead several drinks into your potion of choice surrounded by friends, good chronic, and a bevy of gorgeous ladies. Either way we wish you a Happy New Year!! Thanks for all your continued support and see you in 2013!!

Here’s to all of you out there who will be in the street, the snow, or the sea ripping it up this holiday. See you after Christmas!

Since you’re not dead maybe its time to start doing something positive with your life. A perfect first step would be to go and buy one of these Hoods to Woods x GoodWoodNYC bracelets to support Brooklyn’s raddest youth empowerment through shred organization. Only $20 goes a long way! Show your support now exclusively through Bird’s Eye Board shop.

Signal Snowboards have just dropped another rad episode of their engineering meets shredding show Every Third Thursday. The new episode follows their quest to re-invent an adaptive snowboard using bike parts from Crank Brothers to create a bonified way for their friend Tim Ostler to shred again. It’s feel good content all the way through, enjoy.

We have a special place in our hearts for Brasil so were extra stoked to see that etnies has extended their rad tree planting initiative there. There’s a lot of good going on here.

Radcollector fam and NYC OG Rodney Torres, who recently launched his own brand TORRO Skateboards, is also involved in the the stellar Create Skateboard Foundation for youth in the city. He took some time out recently to talk about why the foundation is so rad. Via Michael Cohen.

The Shadow Conspiracy has gone the distance and united Quintin, Velo, and GGSB with Stay Strong to release a collection to help Stephen Murray’s physical rehab. The sick set includes a seat, custom hat, and t-shirt and follows the generous $10,000 that Shadow recently donated to Stephen’s cause. To get involved directly go here and to read the complete story about the collabo from Ronnie B right here. More looks after the jump.

etnies, who made huge waves in Costa Rica with their altruistic “Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree” program, has now focused on making a dent in restoring the rainforest by bringing the program to Brasil. Concentrated on the Atlantic Rainforest in Sao Paulo state, the program is a partnership with Trees for the Future that promises to plant 100,000 trees throughout 2012 for every purchase of etnies Jameson 2 and Jameson 2 Eco men’s and kid’s shoes as well as girl’s Caprice Eco and Circe Eco shoes. Good shit.

Good karma and good skating go hand in hand this Saturday at the House of Vans in Brooklyn. Working with New York Cares, Vans will donate all the new or slightly used coats required for entry to local people. Full info after the jump.
