On this #WorldOceansDay, we are reminded that the ocean is the heart of our planet, a beautiful ecosystem that sustains so much life on our planet. But our short-sighted actions, like overconsumption and poor disposal methods of plastic, have a detrimental impact on our ecosystems. Through the work we do with the MAS Foundation for Change, we're taking action by implementing Ocean Strainers, floating trash trap devices, that capture plastic waste before it pollutes our oceans. Through innovation and dedication, we're on a journey to give marine waste a second life, offering our oceans a chance to heal, replenish and continue sustaining life on our planet. #MASFoundationForChange #OceanStrainer #WorldOceansDay2024 #AwakenNewDepths #SaveOurOceans
