Netflix's new offering 'Down to Earth with Zac Efron' releases on Friday, July 10. The docu-series features actor and environmental activist Zac Efron visiting various parts of the globe in search of ways to sustainably consume food, water and energy which are the main staples essential for all life on the planet.
Efron is accompanied by Darin Olien on this journey who's identified as a "superfood hunter" according to his website. Both of them travel to France, Puerto Rico, London, Iceland, Costa Rica, Peru and Sardinia among other countries to learn about sustainable measures that different cultures follow. There is a 90-second trailer that has released for the show giving a peek into the journey of these two men who are traveling the world to find "new solutions to some very old problems".
Efron and Olien meet some top eco-innovators from these countries to themselves learn and educate viewers at the same time about how change is an inside job. "Governments sometimes fail but people always find a way to help each other," says a climate activist in the trailer to Efron and Olien. As seen in the trailer, both of them are seen putting their muscle where their mouth is and helping rebuild the entire community.
