"The Water Walker"
As Earth Day 2025 celebration, streaming platform Newyonder is making waves in the entertainment world by donating 5% of every subscription to real-world conservation projects across land and sea. In a landscape dominated by traditional streaming giants, Newyonder offers something different: an immersive library of stunning documentaries and adventure-driven series—all united by a common mission to entertain, educate, and give back to the Earth. This Earth Day, Newyonder is reaffirming its commitment to that mission by launching a special campaign to spotlight the direct impact viewers can have by simply pressing "play."
"Earth Day is about taking action, and at Newyonder, every subscription is an act of environmental stewardship," says Aurelien Simon, CEO at Newyonder. "We're showing that streaming can be a tool for change—one that inspires wonder while funding real conservation work around the globe."
Newyonder’s subscriber-funded model is turning passive entertainment into proactive impact. Recent initiatives supported by Newyonder subscribers include the planting of thousands of Seagrass seeds with Project Seagrass in the Western Indo-Pacific Ocean of Sri-Lanka and the Temperate Northern Atlantic Ocean of North Wales.
