Every year, billions of pounds of trash pollute our oceans, harming vulnerable marine life. But there’s hope: 4ocean PBC is making a real impact in the fight against ocean pollution. Since 2017, the organization has removed over 40 million pounds of plastic, glass, and debris from the water. They then repurpose this waste into products like bracelets, T-shirts, and reusable bottles, which in turn funds their vital work. 4ocean's Executive Director Jack E. Lighton discuss the challenges and rewards of their ongoing mission.

2dThis is truly inspiring work by 4ocean PBC. It's heartening to see an organization taking concrete steps towards tackling ocean pollution and making a real impact. The fact that they are repurposing the waste they collect into useful products is a great example of a circular economy in action. It's also important to note that while their work is commendable, it's equally important for individuals and businesses to take responsibility for their own waste and reduce their plastic consumption. Let's all do our part in protecting our oceans and marine life.
