POPSUGAR: You participated in the Ocean Beach Pier Cleanup in San Diego today. Why does the Love the Ocean Campaign mean so much to you?
Scott Eastwood: We're doing this great campaign with Davidoff Cool Water and the National Geographic called the Pristine Seas Project and it's been going on for the last five years. Every bottle of Cool Water sold goes to protect 10,000 square meters of ocean. So to give you just a reference, where we are today, only two percent of the world's oceans are actively protected, so that's a very, very small number. As a goal with this partnership, by 2020 to protect 10 percent of the world's oceans.
PS: What is the biggest thing you hope people learn from the campaign?
SE: I guess the biggest thing is that we all be a part of the solution. Everything from taking 20 minutes out of your day to organize an event like this whether you're at a beach or not, in your local community, or being conscious of the decisions we make. When you go to a restaurant, "Do I need to drive? Do I need to use plastic? Do you guys have paper containers instead of plastic?" Just being educated in the choices we have.
PS: You're also a big water sports guy. Now that it's Summer, what do you love most about being at the beach?
SE: Everything really. I love the ocean. The ocean is somewhere where I can just forget about any of the bullsh*t going on in my life.
