welcome MC fam! today we will be talking about something near & dear to my heart! SAVING. THE. OCEAN. & of course a very practical way you too can be involved
4oceans mission is not only remove plastic and waste already in the ocean, but also to KEEP it from entering. they eliminate billions of pounds of waste in multiple countries and need our help in order to continue to do so.
to this day, 4ocean has pulled over 2 million pounds of trash from the ocean + coastlines. the kinda people the world needs more of. thanks you everyone for saving my favorite part of this earth!!
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1ST- visit 4ocean.com and purchase bracelets. The money from each bracelet purchased goes to removing 1 pound of trash from the ocean + coastlines. The bracelets are hand made in Bali made out of 90% recycled content.
note: If you still have Christmas gifts to give, these bracelets come in the mail in only a few short days and would make the perfect gift or stocking stuffer! ++ you still have time to purchase Decembers limited edition Dolphin bracelet :)
2ND- STOP using one time use plastic. this is a HUGE lifestyle change that will definitely take time and commitment.
a few easy way to start:
ask for no straw or lid when ordering at Starbucks or anywhere you frequent (Sonic, etc...)
use reusable glass containers rather than plastic containers or ziplocs
BYO silverware instead of using the plastic stuff
here are some of my favorite reusable options:
