Recently our society has been very judgmental about using plastic and especially drinking out of plastic straws. At first I was confused and didn't care if I was using plastic because it was easy, but then I did my research.
I found this website called 4ocean, basically its about how two men started this nationwide ocean cleanup project after seeing the disgusting trash floating in the water while they were surfing in Bali, Indonesia. After seeing how the trash threatened not only the ocean's environment but fisherman jobs they created a (now) million dollar business that helps clean the ocean. The sell bracelets that with each one sold, one pound of trash gets cleaned from our oceans. In less than 2 years, 4ocean has removed 3,935,257(in counting) pounds of trash from the ocean and coastlines.
I have 3 bracelets and will continue to buy more, not only because they helping a good cause but they are so cute. The beads are clear and the string color will depend on what animal you are trying to help. There are so many different colors and a monthly subscription. They also sell water bottles and cleaning kits you can use on your own.
They also give a list of upcoming cleanups, mostly near the Florida region if you are interested in taking a part in this amazing cause.
After learning about how trash and plastic clouds our ocean, I am very conscious about recycling and using environmentally friendly utensils and packaging. So the nest time you take a sip out of a plastic straw, think about the little baby sea turtles, or a fisherman's lost job.
