Cristina Zenato is Free the Ocean’s fourth Video

Cristina Zenato is Free the Ocean’s fourth Video Trivia Guest! 🎉⁠⁠
⁠⁠
@cristinazenato is a hall of fame diver, explorer, shark lover, and a wonderful fit for our Video Trivia platform! We’re excited to have her as a guest introducing today’s trivia. Run & go check it out on FreeTheOcean.com! Link is in our bio. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Why Cristina loves the ocean: "The ocean is for me the representation of the most feminine spirit. It is the place where life came to be, it is still the place that keeps us alive; it can be as gentle and loving as a mother and as wild and angry as a betrayed lover, but no matter what it's a place of beauty, discovery, and wonder." 🌊💙⁠⁠

This video was taken by one of our impact partners

This video was taken by one of our impact partners, Sustainable Coastlines Hawai’i. It’s a glimpse into their world of cleanups (read: our world) and the plastic waste that’s constant.⁠
⁠
Instead of feeling depleted after these cleanups, the SCH team feels motivated. Motivated because they know that every piece of plastic removed from the ocean and coastlines has a positive impact. Motivated to share ways to prevent the flow of plastic from getting to the coastlines in the first place. Motivated to connect with others through education and action. Motivated to innovate and create change.⁠
⁠
Now more than ever, we cannot let ourselves feel hopeless. Of course, we all feel the heaviness of the world in different ways and should take time to feel things in order to heal things. But we *can* lean in & allow these emotions to fuel us in doing what we can in the present moment to show our Earth love and respect 💙

Ben Jackson, a sheep farmer stuck in lockdown in N

Ben Jackson, a sheep farmer stuck in lockdown in New South Wales, was unable to attend his aunt Deb's funeral... so he decided to honor her memory by herding his sheep into the shape of a heart that could be seen from heaven. He did so by strategically feeding and says he had a couple of failed attempts but he wasn't going to stop until she had the heart! 💙🐑⁠
⁠
Happy Good News Friday, Everyone. Have a wonderful weekend!

The ocean is home to countless magical creatures 🐋 ✨ Which marine animal do you feel the most affinity for? (You don't have to pick just one!)

South Korea > Oregon Coast. 😳⁠ 🌍⁠⁠ ⁠

South Korea > Oregon Coast. 😳⁠ 🌍⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We found this water bottle was found in Neskowin, Oregon, over 5,000 miles away from South Korea, where it was manufactured. As you may know, plastic never fully decomposes but instead breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, called microplastics. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When plastic doesn’t get recycled (only about 8% is successfully recycled), it sticks around - forever! This water bottle hasn't even begun to break down... although it's rusty around the edges and feels like it would start to fall apart into smaller pieces soon if left in the environment. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We're keeping this plastic water bottle, saved from polluting our coastlines or ending up in the belly of an animal, as a reminder of the power of our actions. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What we throw away doesn’t actually go 'away'. Let's all stay mindful of the power of our individual actions. Every one of us has more power than we believe and we can use this power to be part of the solution or the pollution. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What’s your choice? 🌊

Small conscious changes are better than none at all. It’s never been about perfection, it’s just doing a little better every day. ⁠⁠⁠
