2023_Earth Day VIntage Bracelet

It’s been more than 50 years since the first Earth Day and the ocean needs our help now more than ever before. Climate change has become the greatest threat to our oceans and our planet—and plastics release greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change at every single stage of their lifecycle. 

This year’s limited Earth Day Bracelet represents one of our greatest allies in the fight against climate change—kelp. This fast-growing species of seaweed absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis at an incredibly efficient rate. In fact, kelp can absorb up to 20 times more carbon per unit area than land-based plants. 

Kelp forests are a critical marine ecosystem that promotes biodiversity and helps maintain the balance of the ocean's food chain. When kelp dies, it sinks to the ocean floor, where it stores carbon for hundreds of years. That’s why protecting and restoring kelp forests are considered some of the most effective natural tools we have in the fight against climate change.
