Tips for Keeping Mama Ocean Beautiful

Sea Hugger’s tips for

Keeping Mama Ocean Beautiful

Did you know that our oceans have a huge impact on the climate? Covering 70% of the planet, they absorb and store massive amounts of carbon dioxide and heat, which helps reduce and regulate global temperatures. Oceans also produce more than 50% of the planet’s oxygen - pretty cool, we know! But that makes it even more important to protect. 

We are stoked to share this list of ways to show some love for our oceans.

#1. Source responsibly

Who you support is important! Use your wallet to support ocean-minded products, services, and organizations. Speaking of support, taking part in elections makes a big difference. Support leaders, bills, and policies that prioritize our people and planet.

#2. Wishcycle v.s. Recycle

Wishcycling: placing an item in the recycling bin with the hopes that the item can be recycled, when it actually cannot. Learning your local recycling guidelines can help save a lot of time, money, and effort for those working at the centers.

#3. Connect with the outdoors

Getting outside increases our dopamine levels! More joy = more appreciation = more choices to protect our people and planet.

#4. Go Topless (skip the lid!) & b.y.o. CUP

To-go coffee cups are lined with a thin layer of plastic, or straight up are plastic! Bring your own, or go topless and skip the lid.

#5. The 3 P’s

There are really just 3 things you can safely flush down the toilet - pee, poo, and (toilet) paper. Flushable wipes are not included in this, since they don’t break down. Find yourself a good bamboo toilet paper, because all drains lead to the ocean!
