Did you know you can remove 1 lb of plastic from the ocean by purchasing unisex bracelets?

Some of you may know that our oceans are endangered. Sea life, fish, turtles, sharks....are all threatened by plastic, among other things.

I heard about these folks on the news last night, and I just bought 5 Christmas presents for family members from them. It's called 4oceans.com. They sell unisex bracelets...clear plastic beads with a blue cord.

According to the news I heard last night, they will employ people anywhere in the world who want to dive and/or wade out and remove plastic from the ocean. They have funded themselves, and have raised over 700 million dollars selling bracelets and this funds their efforts.

One of the things they mentioned is that if you want to work for them, and you like to go fishing, go fishing for plastic and earn money fishing!

That is a great cause. We always pick up any plastics we see on the beach.

@SweetMae And 4oceans.com will pay you for the plastic!

@4meAndyou Great!
If ppl disposed of their shit properly. There’d be no need to clean it out the ocean.. just saying..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Yeah, but that's never going to happen. China is one of the worst culprits. And when the "guys" get out in the open ocean, everything goes into the water.

@SW-User Thank you! We need to get out the word on more chat sites. Not everyone twitters or even uses facebook.

@4meAndyou Or instagrams hahaha.
The past few days I have been thinking about plastic water bottles. After they are recycled where are they disposed of?

@Mondayschild Recycled plastics can be used for trex, plastic bags, etc

Ive never heard of this. Sounds like a great idea!

@Effloresce I thought so. Buy a cool looking bracelet and divers and surfers and fishermen will be paid to clean up the plastic in the ocean. It's even better than a nickel return on cans and bottles..LOL!!!
