The company Fallow is dedicated to supporting conservation organizations through the sale of bracelets. When customers purchase a bracelet, a portion of the proceeds is donated to these organizations. Fallow has established partnerships with renowned organizations like the Sea Turtle Conservancy, Polar Bears International, Saving the Blue, Global Penguin Society, and the Marine Conservation Lab at Florida International University, among others. Each bracelet is uniquely designed to represent a specific animal, allowing customers to choose which animal they would like to support. These bracelets not only serve as a means of contribution but also as a symbol of support. Fallow's bracelets offer buyers the opportunity to actively support the conservation efforts of real animals. Each bracelet is associated with a particular animal, such as a shark, polar bear, penguin, sea turtle, lion, giraffe, elephant, or gorilla. By purchasing the corresponding bracelet, buyers can directly contribute to the conservation of their chosen animal. These bracelets not only symbolize support but also provide information on the animal's journey and ongoing conservation efforts. Supporting conservation organizations through purchases like these allows individuals to make a meaningful contribution, even if they are unable to donate large sums of money. In a podcast episode, Fallow is highlighted as a company that supports various conservation organizations through the sale of bracelets. Each bracelet represents a different animal, and the proceeds from sales are dedicated to the conservation work and tracking of these animals. By purchasing a bracelet for $25, individuals can actively contribute to the conservation of species such as sharks, polar bears, penguins, and sea turtles.

There was a great conversation happening on TikTok (yes, TikTok) on Dr. Virginia Schutte's account regarding wastefulness and our environment. The video series started with Virginia stitching another creator on her comments about being judged for her family using paper plates. Virginia responded by saying that she chooses not to judge anyone on their lifestyle and rather approaches people with love and support to help others understand what conservation is and that not everyone is able to do conservation. A number of other comments were generated from the first video and Virginia had great responses to them. I discuss them in this episode and add my own thoughts on conservation and how we and corporations can act to help our blue planet.

This episode is purely motivational. I find that there is a perception that people should do everything perfectly if they are going to be eco-friendly. Apparently, there is no room for failure. You are either all eco-friendly or you are not at all. And that is the wrong way of thinking. Changing human behaviour is hard and it takes time to achieve your full goals. I provide examples of how I changed certain aspects of my life to improve myself. I oftentimes will throw things against the wall to see what sticks and work on improving myself each time. Don't be afraid about failure and act now for the Ocean. Want To Talk Oceans? Join the Speak Up For Blue Facebook Group: http://www.speakupforblue.com/group.

In my quest to become more sustainable, I've discovered companies that are registered B-Corporations. These corporations strive to be socially, economically and environmentally ethical with their business. The businesses usually use their mission to drive something special such as providing clothes for the needy or protecting the environment. People buy from these companies because they believe in their mission. I recently found out that a company for which I order their products on a regular basis has become certified as a B-Corp and have teamed up with Terracyle to truly recycle their products into long-lasting products such as park benches. I am a consultant for this company and I can help you get set up with buying these products if you use similar items. Now you know that the products can be truly recycled and reused. Here is a link to the list of products that can be used by Terracyle: Here is the link to the Arbonne website: If you use me as a consultant, the money will go directly back into the Network of Podcasts so we can work to reach and inspire more people to live for a better Ocean. Email me andrew@speakupforblue.com for more information. The second part of the episode was an update on Ontario's Bill 229, which was a budget bill to help with the economic effects of COVID-19; however, it contains a clause that took away the powers of Conservation Authorities. Take a listen to find out what happened.
