I personally support 4ocean and Free the Ocean for plastic awareness.
I buy 4 ocean's bracelets and answer daily quiz questions from Free the Ocean which gives them money support. Both have other products that they sell to replace plastics.
Here is a link to a video from 4ocean
A link to Free the Ocean if you would like to sign up for the trivia questions which in return helps them to raise money. I learn allot every day by answering these questions. This is how I found out about the small plastics in tea bags.

awhile back I had researched 4ocean. They are not non profit, but they monthly donate to non profits that help the ocean and the ocean's wildlife They are very involved with the plastic crisis in our water.

Yay for you. It’s a good awareness! Now, If we could only find an easy way to get people aware of the land as well as the oceans, our planet would be a lot better off.

DeleteYou have an awesome week too-hugs
I didn't know there was a World Ocean Day: what a great thing to have. I love the ocean. And that's good that they were how you found out about the plastic in tea bags. I remember you talking about that in a post awhile ago, and was glad you mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteI just learned of this too. Yes I had no idea about the plastics in tea bags-I use mostly loose teas now
DeleteAwareness is important, and it's hard for some of these annual days not to get lost during these troubling times. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, I just learned of this one
DeleteYikes
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information and links …
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I had no idea there was a World Ocean Day. And of course, I would have to miss it. Living between two rivers that define my neighborhood, every spring my neighborhood association (and I) gather plastic, debris, and old tree stumps that clog the Little Arkansas River. The neighborhood association to the west of mine take care of cleaning the Big Arkansas.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Elizabeth
