Impacts Of Plastic Pollution | Using Recycled Art To Improve Communities & The Environment

  • Summary

  • There’s no question that pollution is a growing problem – especially in marine environments. Beach clean-ups feel like an uphill battle for many conservationists, and to make matters worse, many of the hardest-hit areas are the homes of impoverished communities…

    Here to make a difference is Erin Smith, the CEO of Ocean Sole. As an eco-advocate with a knack for spreading awareness in creative ways, Erin is on a mission to educate people on ocean health, positively impact low-income communities, and contribute to ocean conservation.

    How does Ocean Sole help people and the environment? By upcycling washed-up flip-flops and turning them into breathtaking art and functional products. Want to find out what’s next for this unique social enterprise? Click play now!
