"As consumers, we want our purchases to make a difference for animals and the planet," said Lisa Anderson, co-founder of Ocean Project.  "Ocean Project has made it a central part of its mission to approach fashion in an ethical and open way. We want people to look and  feel good in what they're wearing and know that the money they spend on their clothes helps clean the environment."

There are many pollution problems in the fashion industry, like coloring fabrics using toxic dyes, or tanning leather using toxic chemicals.  By some estimates, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world, right after the petroleum sector, Anderson added.

But not at Ocean Project. Every Ocean Project t-shirt, bracelet and necklace purchase gets 2.2 pounds of plastic from the environment. Yes -- that's 2.2 pounds.
