Plastic waste is a big issue. It is estimated approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste ends up in the oceans each year.

4ocean is a company that sells plastic bracelets for $20. They run a national advertising campaign claiming they have removed 2 million pounds of plastic waste from the oceans. That works out to 1 thousand tons of plastic. The equivalent of about 3 thousand barrels of oil. Kinda like a spit in the ocean. A solution to the problem needs to be found. 4ocean sure ain’t it. Looks like a feel good scam to me.
