On this episode of The Swell Season Surf Podcast, we discuss The Surfrider Foundation's landmark lawsuit against Exxon for allegedly misleading the public about plastic recycling and contributing to pollution. The episode's guest, Dr. Chad Nelson, CEO of Surfrider Foundation, shares insights on the lawsuit's objectives, addressing decades of misinformation and environmental impact caused by Exxon's plastic production. The conversation further explores broader environmental initiatives, including New York Climate Week events, ocean conservation, beach access issues in New Jersey, and the challenges of balancing surfing interests with environmental concerns. The episode underscores the organization's efforts in advocating for laws, strategic lawsuits, and the potential implications of the case against Exxon while encouraging public involvement in advocacy and conservation efforts.
