A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post highlighting ways to creatively reuse skate decks.
One of the designs I featured was skater and entrepreneur (er, skatetrepreneur?) Meg Grogan's recycled-skateboard pet feeders. (They're elevated, the way a pet feeder should be.)
Now it seems that not only is Meg Grogan doing her bit for the environment by recycling skate decks, she's doing her bit for her community too, by starting an initiative called Skate It Forward. Meg writes:
The way it works is simple, if a person is under 18 years old and comes up with a plan to help [their] community in some way either through volunteering, cleaning up the environment, donating, anything they think would be a worth while project and keeps their grades up in school, I will provide that person free decks to ride. When the decks are broken in, I'll take them back, exchange it for a new one, and make the old deck into a recycled feeder…pretty easy right?

Pictured above: the first Skate It Forward recycled feeder. Lookin' good.
