Save Our Seas

Did you know that plastic bottle caps are quickly eclipsing cigarette butts as the number one item found on the world’s beaches? YUK! That is just disgusting.

Did you know that there are at least two HUGE (we’re talking the size of real big!) plastic garbage dumps in our oceans: a toxic soup of plastics spun together by a vortex of currents?

Plastic is forever. It never totally degrades and has communion with our earth. It looks like food to marine life. They eat it and they die.

Help the environment by reducing your purchase of plastic and reusing or recycling the plastic that you do have.

Save a turtle today: clean up our beaches.

If you see plastic on the beach, PLEASE, pick it up and recycle it. Marine life (especially the gorgeous turtles on our Great Barrier Reef) mistakes the plastic for food, they eat it and they die. The animal decomposes around the plastic which further breaks down and acts as food for more marine life. The cycle of death continues infinitum because the tiny particles of plastic NEVER disintegrate.

Keep YOUR plastic out of landfill where it can wash into our rivers and oceans. Use it for smarts and crafts at your house or give it to us to repurpose.

Humanity’s plastic footprint is probably more dangerous than its carbon footprint. Charles Moore,  Ocean Researcher credited with discovering the Pacific garbage patch in 1997
