If you’ve ever liked or supported a page on Facebook that has to do with plastic pollution, you may have seen an advertisement for a $20 dollar bracelet made from plastic pulled from the ocean. For every bracelet purchased, 4ocean removes 1 pound of trash from the world’s oceans. In the last 3 years, 4ocean has cleaned about 8 million pounds of trash in Florida, Bali, and Haiti. Last week alone, 4ocean’s Haiti team removed 65,000 pounds of trash from the ocean and rivers. 4ocean founders Andrew Cooper and Alex Schulze were included in Forbes’ 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 last year.
