Children can make a difference. We're so proud of Alexa BeMent who is using her Oceans 4Ever blog to speak about protecting the world's oceans. We're HUGE fans!
Alexa told her readers that she would celebrate World Oceans Day (June 2) by baking chocolate cakes with blue frosting. But she actually did so much more!
Last year, Alexa and mom Cindy had Melissa create some custom-made bags just for them after trying to figure out a place to store all their new Christmas electronics. They were pleased with the process which spawned into Alexa's GREAT IDEA. Alexa decided to ask Melissa if she would be interested in creating some bags to raise money for the future of the oceans. Melissa liked the idea.
But life happened and unfortunately, the two didn't stay in touch and the project didn't take off. That is, until the massive Deepwater Horizon oil spill of April 20th. Alexa felt horrible and got back in touch with Melissa, who not so surprisingly, felt as badly as she did.
So the project took off again. Alexa learned all about swatches, bag style, bag lining, color, and discontinued fabrics, the duo came up with three ocean-themed beautiful bags for your consumption.
Most importantly, though, proceeds from purchase of these amazing fashion speciments will go directly to the International Bird Rescue Research Center for their continued effort to support, help, rehabilitate and protect sea birds in the Gulf and around the world. They must be doing something right. After all, their executive director just won Oceana's coveted Ocean Hero Award!
I'm getting my hands on one of these babies and you should, too. They're highly stylish and you'll be helping the birds in our oceans more then you know.
My favorite is the Oceans 4Ever Waves Gadget Roo Bag (the one on top in the picture above!) But all of them are so cute! And to think, for less than $40 you can contribute so much to so many!
