Where Is ‘Away?’: Solving Plastic Pollution in 4-minutes, is the fourth short movie in professional surfer, Kyle Thiermann’s Surfing For Change series. It tracks a plastic bag that Kyle uses in his hometown of Santa Cruz California, all the way to the north shore of Oahu, demonstrating both the destruction and solutions along the way. Famous musician Jack Johnson, and Story of Stuff’s Annie Leonard join Kyle in this fast-paced journey to highlight the power we all have to end plastic pollution.

Buy Local, Surf Global

November 6th, 2010

Shopping locally and responsibly makes a HUGE difference in your local economy, and in the lives of people all around the world. I learned that in the process of developing this project and during my time in Sri Lanka.

The power we as citizens have to make a difference is exciting to me. Over the course of this project I learned that the old saying, ‘Money is Power’ is true. Every time you spend money, you are exercising that power and you can use spend your money in strategic ways that benefit your neighborhoods and the live of other around the world.
