Today is Show Your Stripes Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of how our climate is changing and what to do about it. It's an important day for climate awareness, and aligns with our commitment to make our industry more sustainable - from reducing emissions on our productions to featuring more electric vehicles in our films and TV shows. At the heart of this global effort is a now-famous graphic created by climate scientist Dr. Ed Hawkins known as "Warming Stripes" which visualizes temperature increases over the past 100+ years in regions around the world. (And yes, while not related, does slightly resemble our Netflix opening credits.)
In honor of Show Your Stripes Day, we're highlighting Netflix shows and films with sustainability storylines.
Outer Banks: Season 3
Outer Banks tells the story about John B enlisting his three best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure linked to his fathers disappearance. Madelyn Cline, who stars in the show, shares her experience with hurricanes and rising sea levels caused by climate change in her home and on the set of Outer Banks.
Next in Fashion: Season 2
Supermodel Gigi Hadid and Tan France co-host a fierce competition to find fashions next trendsetter. Sustainable fashion is woven throughout this season, notably in Episode 3's upcycling challenge where competitors created designs from pre-loved clothing. One finalist shared how upcycling helped start his career and carried him to the finale.
The Magicians Elephant
A determined boy accepts a kings challenge of impossible tasks to free a magical elephant from captivity, returning her to her family while trying to reunite with his own.
Unstable: Season 1
A biotech genius, played by Rob Lowe, tries to bounce back from the depths of grief with help from his son, while working together to invent carbon-capturing concrete. The show helped shed light on real-life climate solutions, tested Rob Lowe's knowledge of climate science, highlighted sustainable buildings and used humor to prompt people to think differently on Earth Day.
Ada Twist, Scientist: Season 4
Ada Twist, Scientist follows the adventures of sustainability hero Ada Twist, a pint-sized scientist with a giant-sized curiosity. Now available on YouTube, Episode 3 centers on Earth Day. The Nature Conservancy developed a free sustainability-themed viewing guide inspired by the show.
Sweet Tooth: Season 2
Captured and imprisoned by the Last Men, a very special deer-boy hybrid takes action to help his newfound friends escape before its too late. Sweet Tooth co-stars Christian Convery and Nonso Anozie challenged each other to a wildlife trivia quiz which inspired beloved characters from other shows and movies to save the world.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, centers around a young Queen Charlotte as she rises to prominence following her marriage to King George. Queen Charlotte's high-wigged royal doesn't follow trends - she starts them. Her portrayer, Golda Rosheuvel, is the same: she's been plant-based long before it was commonly known and shares her experience.
Spirit Rangers: Season 2
Spirit Rangers follows siblings Kodi, Summer and Eddy on action-packed adventures in Spirit Park, a National Park they protect and call home. The series was showcased in the Netflix Family Earth Week Activity Booklet, used by families to have conversations about climate change.
Never Have I Ever: Season 4
Never Have I Ever is the story of a temperamental but tenacious Indian-American teen, Devi, as she navigates feelings, foibles and immigrant family dynamics alongside her eclectic friends Fabiola and Eleanor. Lee Rodriguez, who plays Fabiola, opens up about her passion for sustainability and contrasts her own real-life interests with those of her character.
Our Planet II
From the Emmy Award-winning team behind Planet Earth and Our Planet comes Our Planet II. The series follows billions of animals across the globe as they make astonishing seasonal migration journeys amid the dangers of climate change. The series producers and climate experts came together to inspire viewers to take action.
