1. WHY IS CONSERVING AND PROTECTION THE OCEANS IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Growing up by the sea is a part of who we are, the oceans make up most of our planet, keeping them clean for future generations is a must if we want the best for all walks of life.
2. WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT IS BETTER FOR THE OCEANS?
Every day we go the beach, and every day we collect at least 3 pieces of trash to take back with us.
It’s a rule we have been brought up with.
3. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE SURFING INDUSTRY SPECIFICALLY CAN BE DOING TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF THE OCEANS?
The surf industry is definitely on the right track, we need to keep inspiring the grommets, teaching them about pollution, and minimising single-use plastics is definitely helping a lot especially here in Australia!
4. CAN YOU RECOMMEND ANY BOOKS, BRANDS, ORGANISATIONS OR PEOPLE OUR FOLLOWERS SHOULD CHECK OUT FOR INSPIRATION?
A great book we have all read at the BIRD & HILL. office is “How to give up plastic - Will McCallum“
ANY FINAL MESSAGE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?
Our final message would be, to look to support small independent brands, for example, we design and create all our goods in house or via local small carbon footprint workshops throughout Australia, Indonesia, and the USA. Like our eyewear, for example, our process has caught the eye of @chrishemsworth and he has been a supporter of our brand for the last 3 years 😊
The ocean and beach is for everyone. We like to preach to leave nothing behind but our footprints 👣
