Down to Earth with Zac Efron is streaming now on Netflix, and sees the High School Musical actor heading around the world to explore sustainable and eco-friendly business—all while racking up a significant carbon footprint and getting in a bit of capitalistic product placement into the show. Across the series' eight episodes, Efron visits three continents, visiting everything from a tap water processing plant in Paris to an ayahuasca foundation in the Amazon.
In Episode 4 of the show, Efron tells co-host Darin Olien that he has "gotta get out of Hollywood," saying that living there is "not conducive [to a] long, happy, mentally-sound life." On his journey to find a better life, he visits Iceland, Costa Rica, Sardinia, London, and a number of other locations.
