Join host Caitlin Creeper and Lilly Woodbury in this chat for surfers and ocean lovers. Lilly Woodbury is a longtime environmental communicator working in coastal protection, policy, and public education, and in this talk she leads us through where we're at in the fight to protect the environment, what's been done, and what still needs to be done. It might be bleak sometimes but all is far from lost. We talk about the wins, the very real threats, how one can stay in the room and conversation of environmental protection even when it's hard. We talk about how to walk the line between the truth, and the wins, and why ocean trash pickups still matter- as does pushing back against corporate exploitation and everything in between.

La pasada primavera organizaron el primer ‘Colillatón' o maratón internacional de recogida de colillas de cigarrillos, que piensan repetir el próximo 31 de mayo coincidiendo con el Día Mundial Sin Tabaco. Además, en el año 2022 recogieron casi 500.000 colillas durante las ‘Ocean Initiatives', un programa de voluntariado ambiental de Surfrider Foundation que denuncia que una colilla contamina hasta 500 litros de agua, por lo que es urgente tomar medidas para evitar que estos residuos acaban en las playas y en el mar.

Carolyn Murphy is a supermodel, actress, and environmental advocate. Her Vogue shoot with Steven Meisel in the late 1990s launched her into a fruitful, three-decade long career. In 1998 she was named VH1/Vogue's Model of the Year. She played Dubbie in the 1999 feature film Liberty Heights, directed by Barry Levinson. She was also one of the “Modern Muses” on the November 1999 millennium cover of American Vogue. She's also a surfer, and moved from NYC in the late 1990s to be closer to the waves in LA. Today, Murphy is an ambassador for Surfrider, The Wellness Foundation, Animal Haven, Edible Schoolyard NY, Ocean Unite, and No More Plastic. Along with being a mom, activism is a key component in her life. In this episode, Murphy talks with Jamie Brisick about the shock of New York as a young model, the shoots that changed her career, splitting time between Costa Rica and New York, the fashion industry, performativity, the challenges of introversion, surfing, and going against the grain. 

Dr. Chad Nelsen, CEO of the Surfrider Foundation, joins us on The Lineup to discuss his role in protecting the world's oceans, waves, and beaches. From Surfrider's hometown of Laguna Beach, Dr. Nelsen shares insights on the foundation's 40th anniversary, their network of 200+ chapters, and the complex evolution of environmental activism. We dive into real-world challenges—mangrove deforestation in Puerto Rico and coastal erosion on Hawaii's North Shore—and discuss how the Surfrider Foundation combines legal and scientific strategies to tackle these issues. Dr. Nelsen also opens up about his journey, from growing up in a surfing family on Long Island to his lifelong commitment to ocean conservation. He reflects on the impact of climate change on coastlines and the need for public action, urging listeners to get involved in the fight for sustainable practices. We explore how surfing, though a niche sport, can drive environmental awareness and political influence. A key example is the Save Trestles campaign, which successfully halted plans for a six-lane toll road that would have cut through San Onofre State Beach, the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, sacred Native American sites, and threatened the San Mateo Creek Watershed. With partnerships with local communities, WSL and WSL PURE, as well as ambassadors like Carissa Moore, Dr. Cliff Kapono, and Greg Long, the Surfrider Foundation strives to inspire both surfers and non-surfers alike to make a difference.

The Surfrider Foundation has made a significant positive impact over its 40-year history, evolving from a grassroots organization focused on protecting surf spots to a powerful advocate for ocean and coastal conservation. Here are some key highlights of its achievements: Grassroots Mobilization: Surfrider has built a network of over 200 chapters and more than 100,000 volunteers across the U.S. and beyond. This grassroots model empowers local communities to address specific environmental issues, fostering a sense of belonging and collective action among volunteers. Major Legal Wins: The organization has successfully fought for stronger environmental protections, including a landmark Clean Water Act lawsuit that reached the Supreme Court, reinforcing the Act's reach and effectiveness. This case highlighted the connection between wastewater treatment and coral reef health, showcasing Surfrider's commitment to clean water. Legislative Achievements: Surfrider played a crucial role in passing the Beach Act, which standardized and funded water quality monitoring across the country. This legislation ensures that beachgoers are informed about water safety, akin to health grades for restaurants. Community Engagement: Surfrider has effectively engaged communities in conservation efforts, such as beach cleanups and the Ocean-Friendly Restaurants program, which encourages local eateries to reduce single-use plastics. These initiatives not only improve local environments but also educate the public about sustainable practices. Coalition Building: The organization has successfully collaborated with various stakeholders to oppose harmful policies, such as offshore drilling initiatives during the Trump administration. By mobilizing local communities and making economic arguments for preserving coastal resources, Surfrider has demonstrated the power of collective action. Innovative Programs: Surfrider has developed numerous programs focused on clean water, beach access, plastic pollution, climate resilience, and ocean conservation. These initiatives are tailored to local needs, allowing chapters to address the unique challenges faced by their communities. Training and Support: The foundation invests in training and resources for its volunteers, ensuring they are well-equipped to advocate for their local environments. This support fosters a knowledgeable and passionate network of activists dedicated to ocean protection. Overall, the Surfrider Foundation's 40 years of advocacy, community engagement, and grassroots mobilization have led to significant environmental victories and a stronger, more connected community of ocean advocates.

The Conservative States & Provinces group—a subgroup of the Reuse Solutions Network— brings together advocates from areas where it is harder to pass policy so they can share and troubleshoot ways to advance reuse despite the obstacles. And one major barrier folks living in conservative states often face is preemption, aka “bans on bans.” If a town wants to pass a Skip the Stuff ordinance, for instance, a state with certain pre-emption laws could override it. This is a reality that impacts many living in more conservative jurisdictions and directly hinders the ability to pass local policy on plastics and packaging. This discussion from a recent meeting of the Conservative States & Provinces subgroup covers preemption more broadly and its implications for reuse policy; how it looks in different states; strategies for challenging it; and lessons learned from experienced panelists: Randy Moorman of Eco-Cycle in Colorado, Emma Haydocy of Surfrider in Florida, and Jeremy Drake of MT Plastic Free Missoula in Montana. Resources: Reuse Solutions NetworkEco-cycleSurfrider FloridaMT Plastic Free MissoulaUpstream's Policy TrackerReuse Coalitions & Groups

Have you ever felt like travel has led you to a deeper commitment to protecting our planet? Do you wonder what your environmental impact is as a world traveler? In this episode of the "Transform with Travel" podcast, I sit down with Evan Orellana, the regional manager of the Surfrider Foundation for Florida and Puerto Rico. Evan shares his journey from a sea turtle nesting monitor to an advocate for ocean conservation, highlighting the powerful influence of travel and the crucial work of Surfrider in protecting our coastal environments.Travel has shaped Evan's commitment to ocean conservation. Trips to Guatemala with his father revealed the powerful and sometimes untamed nature of the ocean, offering a stark contrast to Florida's relatively calm beaches. These experiences underscored the global importance of protecting our marine environments.The Surfrider Foundation, founded in 1984, focuses on protecting the ocean, waves, and beaches for all people. With over 180 chapters and 200 student clubs nationwide, Surfrider tackles issues like plastic pollution, beach access, and clean water rights.

Florent Maréchal, Directeur des programmes de Solidarité Sida, organisateur du festival Solidays est au micro de Frédéric Cloteaux. A quelques jours de l'événement phare de l'association, il revient sur les priorités d'allocation des fonds récoltés grâce à cet événement solidaire qui génère plus de 2 millions d'euros de bénéfices intégralement reversés à des associations de terrain. Si les têtes d'affiche du festival font des efforts conséquents sur leurs rémunération pour encourager ces actions, il n'en demeure pas moins que les coûts augmentent considérablement et que l'association doit faire des prouesses pour maintenir les investissements positifs qu'elle fait dans le monde associatif. La mise en avant de plusieurs dizaines d'associations dans le village du festival et en particulier de trois d'entre-elles - Nightline dédiée à la santé mentale des étudiants, Surfrider foundation engagée dans la protection de l'environnement et Sol en si qui vient au secours d'enfants atteints du sida - n'est pas suffisante. L'argent est le nerf de la guerre pour intervenir rapidement et efficacement contre les fléaux et les discriminations. 260,000 festivaliers l'an dernier ont prouvé le succès populaire d'engagement des jeunes et la mobilisation de centaines de bénévoles dans l'organisation témoigne d'une volonté de poursuivre les combats de l'association. Et même de toutes les associations car beaucoup de jeunes découvrent certaines d'entre-elle lors du festival et s'engagent à leur venir en renfort tout au long de l'année. Luc Baruet, Président de Solidarité Sida et organisateur de Solidays n'oublie pas pour autant de coller à la réalité du moment et de mobiliser les festivaliers pour qu'ils aillent voter le 30 juin, le festival ne pouvant en aucun cas être une excuse pour s'abstenir de remplir son devoir électoral ! Il reste encore quelques billets disponibles pour Solidays - 28/29/30 juin - Hippodrome de Longchamp - Paris

Joining us for our first episode recorded at last week's Shoptalk is Craig Brommers, Chief Marketing Officer at American Eagle Outfitters.

We also learn that the death of physical retail has been greatly exaggerated (though he might be preaching to the choir!).But we kick-off things off with a quick rundown of our big take-aways from our busy, busy time in Las Vegas.

Herlinda Heras and Kevin McGee Kevin McGee, President and CEO of Anderson Valley Brewing Co, AVBC, joins Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha. The foundation of brewery dates to 35 years ago. It is the world's first solar powered brewery. Kevin explains how they recently streamlined their lineup of IPAs, including their classic west coast IPA, Hop Ottin'. They are tasting the Coastal Ale which is a partnership with the Surfrider foundation. Anderson Valley Brewing Co. will be taking over the ale stands at the Dickens Christmas Village in the Cow Palace in San Francisco. They will be pouring 11 different beers. Some of them are seasonal, like the Winter Solstice beer. Herlinda describes the fun and excitement at the Dickens Christmas Village, including old fashioned Victorian games and a fencing school. There are character actors and skillful character portrayals of Charles Dickens himself as well as many characters from the story A Christmas Carol. They perform plays and there is tea time, to do a proper British tea and also a Sherlock Holmes mystery attraction too. Boontling The name of one of their beers, Baal Hornin' means good drinking in Boontling, the local dialect. Since 1997, every year Anderson Valley Brewing Co. has hosted the Booneville Beer Festival. Proceeds going to hyper-local charities, within 10 or 20 miles of the brewery. Over the years they have raised over 1.8 million dollars. The next Beer Fest is Saturday, May 4, 2024. If you visit Booneville, don't try to drive home too late in the day. The road is perilous, but there are lots of lodging opportunities around. The next tasting is the Winter Solstice beer. It is rich tasting and at 6.9% ABV it is stronger than the easy drinking varieties. Beer plus deer = beer, hence Barkley the mascot of Anderson Valley Brewing Co., a bear with antlers.

Today we're talking with Chad Nelsen, CEO of the Surfrider Foundation. Raised by the beach in southern California, Chad was a lifeguard and student of coastal science before connecting with Surfrider, the grassroots organization committed to protecting the world's ocean, waves and beaches. With more than 50,000 members including surfers and other ocean lovers and campaigns ranging from protecting surf breaks to fighting plastic pollution, climate disruption and working for diversity and equity in the sport, Chad has faith that bottom-up change can still turn the tide.  Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast is co-hosted by Blue Frontier's David Helvarg and the Inland Ocean Coalition's Vicki Nichols-Goldstein. This podcast aims to give you information, inspiration and motivation (along with a few laughs) to help understand our ocean world and make it better. The ocean is rising, and so are we!Learn more at bluefront.org

En janvier, trois ONG ont assigné Danone en justice pour non-respect de son devoir de vigilance. Une procédure inédite. C'est Surfrider Foundation Europe qui est à l'initiative avec Zero Waste France et ClientEarth. Danone est accusée de ne pas en faire assez en matière de déplastification. Entretien avec le porte-parole de Surfrider Foundation Europe. Selon les chiffres du groupe agroalimentaire, Danone a consommé plus de plastique en 2021 qu'en 2020. Si le groupe affirme qu'elle fait beaucoup en termes de recyclage, ces ONG lui rétorquent que le recyclage n'est pas la solution. En effet, seuls 9% des déchets sont recyclés dans le monde. Et ce n'est pas parce qu'une bouteille est en plastique recyclé qu'elle ne se retrouvera pas également au fond des océans. Selon Surfirder, il faut aller vers plus de réemploi, et vers la fin programmée du plastique en le remplaçant par du verre par exemple. Et ce sont précisément les grands groupes comme Danone qui ont le pouvoir d‘impulser des changements. « Si les entreprises ne prennent pas le pas pour aider les consommateurs à changer eux-mêmes leur consommation, qui le fera ? », interroge Lionel Cheylus. Les ONG attaquent de plus en plus les grands groupes mais aussi l'Etat quand elles estiment qu'elles ne sont pas à la hauteur de leur mission. Des ONG qui ont besoin de nouveaux modes d'action pour faire respecter la législation. Surfrider est en première ligne, en pointe dans la lutte pour la protection des océans depuis plus de 30 ans. L'ONG est notamment pionnière en matière de collecte des déchets, une façon de documenter cette pollution et d'alimenter une base de données. Une façon aussi de sensibiliser.

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan had two really fun haunted house types of tales this week. He kicks it off with a haunting at The Moana Surfrider hotel in Waikiki. It would appear that a death that took places many, many years prior has resulted in a female ghost hanging around. When a male visitor stays at the hotel, it would seem she thinks he is someone else. Mistaken identity gone wrong! Then in his second tale, we encounter a new set of Darren's in the Lee Family Haunting. Lynze also has her usual two tales. A clown haunting that spans from childhood to adulthood and possible demonic attachment, but not how you'd think! New Merch:  Amazing new Tall Man collection in the store now!

Full episodes info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com Let's get straight to it - I've got one of surfing's all-time great legends on the show this week. Along with peers like Ian Cairns, Rabbit and MR, 1977 World Champion Shaun Thomson helped to redefine surfing over the course of one of THE most influential careers of them all. He changed the game in ways we all continue to benefit from today. Then there are his off-the-water contributions, which are as progressive and game-changing as his surfing. He was one of surfing's earliest activists, working with organisations such as Surfrider, and organising a campaign to improve water quality at Rincon, among other firsts. He's also an entrepreneur, starting Instinct and sponsoring other legends such as Tom Carroll and Barton Lynch on the way to their own world crowns. And, as if that isn't enough, he's also a creative filmmaker and cultural custodian, notably through the film Bustin' Down The Door, which documented the mid-70s Hawaiian scene Shaun was himself such a key part of. And yet, despite these incredible heights, Shaun's life has also been marked by rare tragedy. The death of his beloved son Mathew in 1995 left him understandably bereft and seeking a new purpose in life. He found it with his Surfer's Code, a deceptively simple self-development tool which uses surfing as a metaphor for life's struggles, and which Shaun has subsequently used to help thousands of individuals and business find their own purpose. Taken as a whole, Shaun's story is remarkable on many levels, and in this conversation we spoke about this career in the context of the biggest themes of all - life, death, grief, recovery; and how surfing has the power to shape your life in ways it can take a lifetime to understand. I'm very grateful to Shaun for taking the time to share his story with such openness and generosity. Hope you enjoy this episode. Thanks to Matt Ward for the theme tune, to my editor Fina Charleson, and to Duncan Yeldham for production support.

Plastic pollution in our oceans is a high-profile problem.Jen Savage, Senior Manager of the Plastic Pollution Initiative of the Surfrider Foundation, joins the show to talk about just how bad the problem has gotten — if the headline didn't give it away, it's so bad that a recent study found microplastics in human blood — and what can be done to stop the problem.[Note from Jennifer Savage: Since recording, the tobacco and cannabis industries convinced the state assembly's Health Committee to gut the state bill that Tom and I discussed. It will no longer ban cigarette or cigar filters, only single-use vaping products.]LINKS:California LegislationReducing Waste in National Parks ActBreak Free From Plastic Pollution ActSupport the show (https://www.humboldtbaykeeper.org/get-involved/donate)

The goal of this episode is share a unique way to strengthen your relationships with those around you. We asked each other questions from the We're Not Really Strangers card game and discussed our perceptions of one another / our thoughts on life. I thought this would be very fitting considering it's February, a month all about showing love and appreciation for the different relationships we have and the different people in our lives. Below are the three levels of WNRS cards. As the game progressed, we gradually asked deeper questions to empower meaningful connections with one another. LEVEL 1 PERCEPTION: We all make assumptions about each other but how often do we ever put them to the test? Level 1 allows you to see what first impression you give off and how well you read others. LEVEL 2 CONNECTION This level digs a bit deeper. 50 rarely asked questions, but warning emotions may arise.. LEVEL 3 REFLECTION Time to reflect. FINAL CARD When's the last time you received a handwritten note? Well here's your chance. All players write a note to each other but only open once you have parted. Also, in my Advanced Business class at my high school, my team is currently launching a tote bag company called Seascape Totes! Our mission is to provide both the "sustainable and stylish solution." We are selling canvas tote bags with an ocean-theme design. The artwork was created by a CCA conservatory student, and we plan to donate 5% of our proceeds to the Surfrider foundation, a charity that promotes plastic reduction and ocean protection.

Jeremy Casebeer is a 6 foot 5 pro beach volleyball champion from Santa Barbara CA. Married to a Brazilian volleyball star, they spend half the year living and training in Rio and are the only two in the world currently able to compete in pro tours in both the US and Brazil. But at the top of his game in 2019 when Jeremy won his first AVP tournament, he had an "a-ha moment" which he details in this episode that sparked a reset in pandemic lockdown. Jeremy walks us through how he's used his platform as a pro athlete to become a world-wide sponsored ambassador for sustainability with non-profits like EcoAthletes, Parley for the Oceans and The Surfrider foundation.  This along with a new podcast focused on accelerating climate solutions and protecting our oceans is enabling Jeremy to combine his first love - beach volleyball - with work he feels has a larger impact and purpose!
