Awareness is Key

The statistics around plastic pollution are frankly insane and scary. Once you become aware of the issue, it’s hard to ignore. We want to bring this awareness to others, so we can all work together to do something about it. The issue of plastic pollution is being talked about more and more, which is an important step in creating awareness and changing behavior – which at the end of the day is what needs to happen.

Be The Change

The state of our ocean has the ability to effect every single one of us, whether you live in Colorado or New Zealand. So let’s be a part of changing these statistics and help remove it and keep it out. Find out how you can limit your plastic footprint HERE
