Activism

We exist to drive change

Through shopping with SLO

Giving back to the ocean is at the heart of everything we do, it’s our way of expressing gratitude.

You buy, we give. For every piece that you buy, we will donate to one of our ocean charity partners of your choice.

Our self-imposed Ocean tax, Earth to Ocean, provides support to the ocean and environmental nonprofits working to defend our water waterways around the globe. Earth to Ocean is dedicated to being active and hands-on for the cause, as well as empowering the right people, always with a grassroots approach.

Why do we need to protect our ocean?

The ocean is the lifeblood of the Earth. The planet, when seen from space is blue, not green from land or white from ice. Blue because we are an Ocean planet. 70% of Earth’s Oxygen is produced by the ocean. Without it, we simply would not exist. Ecosystems both underwater and on the land rely on the ocean. Our land-based daily lifestyle as consumers is the main cause of Plastic Pollution in the ocean, negatively impacting marine, terrestrial, freshwater and ecosystems, and the organisms that live in these habitats. This needs to stop.

A key element of our cause-related work focuses on shifting the still existing, predominantly white-narrative within the realm of environmental/climate activism and particularly marine conservation efforts. We launched a new feature series dedicated to shining a light on the amazing activists driving change locally and globally. The series promotes a more diverse and inclusive picture of climate action and conservation to include the voices of those at the forefront of these issues.
