Some of the humans that inspired us and inspire their communities to commit for a better future

The Cashew factory offers jobs opportunity for the local community (where no jobs were available) and employ 88% of women.

Bye bye plastic - http://byebyeplasticbags.org/
Teens sisters Melati and Isabel Wijsen pushing us to stop the single use of plastic bags.

4Oceans - https://4ocean.com
4Oceans story ironically started in Bali while co-founders and surfers Andrew & Alex visited the island of gods for a surf trip and were welcomed instead by the important amount of trash in the ocean. More than the discomfort for surfing, both co-founders quickly discovered that local fishermen were threatened as well with the reduction of marine life and death of fish which feed on micro-plastic.
While going back to home country USA, Alex and Andrew developed the 4Oceans bracelets which are made of recycled materials. For every bracelet purchased, 1 pound (0,450 kg) of trash is removed from the ocean and coastlines.
4Oceans is now implanted in Bali, Denpasar and regularly organise beach clean up days.
