Happy WORLD OCEANS Day !

The theme for the World Oceans Day 2021 is ‘The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods’. 


We want to take part in this wonderful celebration and create awareness by donating $5 from every straw purchased to "Make A Change Bali"


"Make A Change Bali" is working on developing affordable and replicable solutions to prevent plastic pollution from entering our ocean. They also have an entire workforce active every day cleaning Bali’s rivers, picking up, sorting and cleaning the plastic for it to have a second life.



Make sure to visit "Make A Change Bali" website or their Instagram page @sungaiwatch to learn more about their amazing projects or you can donate directly to them.
