In November of 2023 A New Earth Project along with The Momentum and The Coast Film Festival in Laguna Beach held the first annual Coast Summit. The gathering was designed for outdoor and adventure enthusiasts, from athletes, advocates, and industry folk, to policy makers, filmmakers and forward thinking brands. By bringing these vital voices together the voice of the outdoor community grows stronger, more unified, and powerful in its effort to protect our natural playgrounds and sacred places from environmental harm. The keynote for the day was delivered by legendary pro snowboarder turned environmental activist, Jeremy Jones, founder of Protect Our Winters. Jeremy's journey and accomplishments have lit the fuse. This movement is only just beginning.

Wes Carter, the founder of A New Earth Project and president of Atlantic Packaging discusses the power renowned adventure sports athletes can leverage for good, and the power the outdoor industry has to shape public opinion when it comes to protecting our sacred spaces. He's joined by pro snowboarder Kimmy Fasani, pro surfer Kai Lenny, pro skier Amie Engerbretson and pro surfer turned environmental activist Jon Rose.

A New Earth Project executive editor, Chris Mauro, gets wonky with a bevy of experts about California's game-changing batch of legislation aimed at tackling the plastic pollution crisis.

But while the legislation has been passed, there's still a long road ahead. Mauro jumps into the nitty-gritty with Cal Recycle's Rachel Wagoner, The National Stewardship Council's Heidi Sanborn, Cruz Foam CEO John Felts, and Atlantic Packaging sustainability director, Caroline DeLoach.
