That message is brought to you by 4ocean<\/a>, a Boca Raton\u2013based for-profit business dedicated to ending the ocean plastic crisis, one bracelet at a time. The company collects trash from oceans, rivers and coastlines and converts it into products such as bracelets, building materials or fuel, which it then sells. Anything the company can\u2019t recycle is sent to a local landfill. Besides in Florida, 4ocean has cleanup teams in Guatemala and Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Since 4ocean was founded in 2017, the company\u2019s website says, more than 37 million pounds of trash have been removed from the world\u2019s waterways. To pay for that removal, the company sells products\u2014mostly inexpensive jewelry made from recycled material. \u201cThis is how our first product, the 4ocean bracelet, was born,\u201d the website says. \u201cEvery bracelet purchased funds the removal of 5 pounds of trash from the ocean and coastlines.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding”

Then the bracelets popped up and we did a deeper dive. We educated ourselves as a class. What else does 4ocean do? Besides cleaning up the oceans, they\u2019re creating jobs and they\u2019re able to make consumers aware of how anybody can have a positive impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the bracelets are marketing genius,\u201d she adds. \u201cThey\u2019re a tangible product that consumers can buy and form a connection with. They wear it and are reminded of the importance of ocean cleanup and the impact their purchases made. In addition, it\u2019s a storytelling device for them to share about 4ocean\u2019s mission when someone comments or asks about the bracelet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the summer, Bergbrant earned a shipment of about 150 free bracelets through a 4ocean teachers appreciation initiative. She submitted a statement about how she incorporated teaching about sustainability<\/a> and the bracelets into her marketing<\/a> instruction. \u201cI ordered enough so that all my Autumn Term<\/a> students in Successful Marketing Through Storytelling and the Principles of Marketing students in my fall and spring semester classes can have one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before learning about 4ocean, Paula Greenlaw\u2014a first-year marketing student from Saint Charles, Missouri, who was in Bergbrant\u2019s Successful Marketing Through Storytelling Autumn Term class\u2014had seen the bracelets on other people\u2019s wrists without knowing their story. \u201cLearning about 4ocean\u2019s purpose and mission behind their brand felt inspiring,\u201d Paula says. \u201cThe more I was told about 4ocean, the more I wanted to buy my own bracelet. And seeing my professor bring out a bag of them for us to keep was very exciting for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Gelson Correa Jr., a first-year marine science<\/a> student from Contoocook, New Hampshire, Bergbrant\u2019s Autumn Term course offered a chance to reconnect. \u201cI have always loved 4ocean,\u201d Gelson explains. \u201cI\u2019ve been watching them since 2018 and I loved seeing them grow. I fell out of the loop during COVID and only came back to them when Professor Bergbrant gave us the 4ocean bracelet. I\u2019m glad to see that 4ocean is still staying true to their message and has expanded exponentially.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content”
