Bracelets against plastic waste in the sea


Die Initiative 4 Ocean collects rubbish from beaches and the sea. She's not running out of work. It is estimated that 100 million tons of trash, mostly plastic, swim in the oceans. That corresponds to the weight of 100.000 blue whales. Plastic waste in particular kills a million seabirds every year. The animals swallow the waste or get tangled in it. So far, 4 Ocean claims to have collected ten million pounds (around 4,5 million tons) of garbage. The activists use the material to make bracelets that they sell for $ 20 each. This is how they finance their work. In your Shop You also get bags, drinking cups, t-shirts and other things made from recycled material.
