1 MILLION FLIP FLOPS INTO ART 🩴🎨
Flipflops are collected on the shorelines and landfills in Kenya by Oceansole to stop this waste from entering the ocean.
Billions of people around the world wear flip flops daily and often dispose of them properly, but the infrastructure for recycling is not available everywhere.
Oceansole works with local craftsmen and women in Kenya to create these beautiful animal sculptures, which come in all shapes and sizes!
All of the off-cuts and small pieces are reused in other sculptures, preventing anything from going to waste 🙌
The workers earn a fair living wage, food, and paid time off, and Oceansole funds local scholarships and supports various conservation programs.
Oceansole is cleaning up our oceans and waterways, creating jobs, and raising awareness about marine conservation.
The larger pieces are displayed in museums and national parks, and they also have a website where you can pick one up for yourself to support their incredible mission.
