On
the Push:A Surfer's Guide to Climate
Change Stunning
surf photography, funky music and beautiful locations. On the Push offers an approach
to global warming which is enjoyable and accessible, but also inspiring.
On
the Push is a story about how Anne, an ordinary surfer girl from Wales
becomes an eco-activist. We follow Anne's journey from Porthcawl to Cornwall,
Spain and Switzerland as she learns about the serious threat of climate change-
and how a surfer can help protect the marine environment.
Featured
Surfers include - Pete
Jones, Chris
Hines, Sarah
Bentley, Tony Butt, Will Henry, Beth Mason, Gwen Spurlock, Jo Dennison and
Greg Owen
Why?
Rising sea levels because of global warming could
lead to a loss of waves at low tides, oceans may become more acidic, choking the
life out of our ‘playgrounds’ and making it a lonely place to surf or
sail.
The prospect of a reprieve for nuclear power could result in more
localised pollution from radioactive discharges and signs posted from environmental
agencies saying not to use the water for recreation. There is much to be concerned
about but there are solutions.

Host
your own On the Push evening. Gather 20 or more people from your
community (friends, family, surfers,co-workers) to watch this film and talk about
the issues they bring up.
When
you’re done with the DVD, pass it on to someone who you think will do the
same, sharing a little of what inspired you.
We
hope that new ways of thinking,surfing and living will grow out of these conversations.
