I have found the information at the site 4ocean.com )) it means "
The story begins when Alex and Andrew take a surf trip…
to Bali Indonesia that would inevitably change their lives and the fate of the ocean. Devastated by the amount of plastic in the ocean, they set out to find out why no one was doing anything about it. One afternoon they came across an old fishing village where fishermen were literally pushing their boat through piles of plastic that had washed up on shore. The two surfers realized that the proliferation of plastic threatened both the ocean environment and the fishermen’s livelihood. Could the fishermen use their nets, they wondered, to pull the plastic from the ocean? This idea stuck with the 2 surfers and they knew it was time to hit the drawing board. After realizing that the demand for seafood was driving the fishermen to focus on fish instead of plastic, they knew they had to create something that could fund the desired cleanup efforts. This is how the 4Ocean Bracelet was born.
Made from recycled materials, every bracelet purchased funds the removal of 1 pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines. In less than 2 years, 4Ocean has removed 816 574 pounds of trash from the ocean and coastlines.
4Ocean currently operates out of multiple countries and employs over 150 people worldwide.

Совершенно правильно, вы нашли ответ на мой вопрос, молодец!
That’s a great story. I heard that it is possible to buy bracelets and other pieces of jewelry from recycled materials. Unfortunately, only people who care about the ocean and the environment could appreciate the real value of this jewelry. My sisters do not like anything made of recycled materials. They asked me to get them hearts for Christmas from Heart Jewelry I want to save up some money, and travel somewhere to Bali or other places and make my impact on the environment by doing some volunteering work. For now, I need to stay home like most people and let the pandemic to help our planet.
