The 'Aquaman' actor is really determined to spread environmental awareness among the young generation, wishing 'they even took it more to the next level.'

AceShowbiz - Jason Momoa is calling for the next generation to care about the environment. The 44-year-old actor - who shares Lola, 16, and 15-year-old Nakoa-Wolf with estranged wife Lisa Bonet - explored the need for sustainable and eco-friendly farming in his documentary "Common Ground" and, after showing it at his kids' school, is hoping that it has an impact for years to come.
"I feel like I'm doing it and I'm almost force-feeding my children too much. I took it to their school and we played it at their school, and it was fun to watch all their friends watching it, but I'm like, secretly, I wish they even took it more to the next level," he told People.
"I mean, I want the next generation to take it even more. And they are, some people are, but you just got to deal with what feels good to you and it just fuels me. That's what I'm fighting for."
In 2023, the "Aquaman" star explained while teaching his kids rock climbing that he was also trying to instill in them the idea that failure is "great" because, with persistence, it will eventually lead to success.
He told Men's Health, "That's the thing I try to teach my children right now. There's nothing worth doing if it's not gonna be hard and it's not gonna be a struggle. It's okay to fall. You fall, you get back up and do it again."
"They wanna be perfect and they're afraid; they think if you fall, it's bad. But I'm like, 'No, falling is great, man. Falling is great 'cause you're gonna succeed if you keep doing it. I would never teach acting, but the one thing I could teach is climbing. It gives us this massive bond, and we go outside and do it. It's the ultimate thing for me."
