"Hawai‘i -Message in the Waves" is a film from the BBC Natural History Unit looking at some of the environmental challenges facing the people and wildlife of the Hawaiian Islands.

Although the documentary is from a Hawaiian perspective it is really a global film. Because of their size, location and social history, the Hawaiian Islands represent a microcosm of the planet and are in a unique position to tell all of us where we are going wrong and what we can do to help put things right.

This documentary shows the problems of our global plastic pollution that require our immediate attention. 

Inspired by “Message in the Waves”, the town of Modbury becomes the first in the United Kingdom to become plastic bag free.
