Skateboards contribute many environmental benefits to our society:

• Skateboards are non-powered eco-friendly transportation
• Skateboards are a non-cost form of exercise

Roarockit Skateboard Deck Kits lower the carbon footprint:

• the best skateboard wood in the world is locally grown (specifically Canadian) maple veneer
• maple logs are simply rotary cut into sheets and kiln dried
• wood is not heavily processed with bleaches, pesticides and glues (like bamboo)
• transport of materials is local not off-shore
• no power tools are used for the deck building process
• kit parts are all (or almost all) reusable and or recyclable
• kits are designed for years of use
• kits can be used for other laminated projects, not just skateboards
• finished decks are built to last many years, not disposable
• glues, paints and coatings are water-based
• hand deck building supports local businesses and workers
• hand deck building promotes do-it-yourself projects instead of offshore and off the shelf purchases
• custom deck building provides a potential local business to small builders
