Actor Jason Momoa made an appearance on Wednesday in "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to talk about his new campaign for a plastic-free environment.

The star of "Aquaman" spoke about the recent shave of his beard to promote Mananalu, his new water line packaged in aluminum cans, with the aim of eliminating single-use plastic bottles, a new wall of climbing home and his pets.

During the show, Momoa demonstrated her ax thrower skills by targeting weapons at "plastic water bottle" targets pinned to a wooden board. For each target hit, he earns between $ 1,000 and $ 5,000.

Once everything has been done, Momoa has raised $ 31,000 for Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, a local non-profit organization that organizes beach clean-ups and informs others about the preservation of their coasts.

The money was donated by Shutterfly and featured on a giant check held by Momoa and Degeneres.

Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, founded in 2010 by a group of eight ocean lover friends, was thrilled with this gift.

"Jason has been doing what locals have taught us from the beginning – respecting our elders, our environment, and taking action to help your community," said Kahi Pacarro, co-founder of Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii. "Not only did he help understand the message of plastic pollution [Wednesday], he showed how influential people could and should create real change, then he started a business that will reduce the use of millions of single-use plastic bottles.

"We are always grateful for his support," said Pacarro, "and we look forward to showing him, as well as to the rest of the world, how such donations are being used to organize incredible clean ups in Hawaii and educational activities. Across the country."
