    Was just adding some Emerald Cove brand Wakame seaweed to my lunch and saw on their packaging that they are “Certified Plastic Neutral” by rePurpose Global, the organization that will estimate your plastic footprint and offer ways to reduce or offset it.

      We have been refilling Dr. Bronner from the Co-op bulk container in Santa Monica store, and in the past we bought gallon jugs to refill our containers in San Diego and San Francisco. We've used Dr. Bronner's for almost 50 years. Now that they are helping Sea Shepherd I am thrilled! I donate to Sea Shepherd. So great to find out. Thanks!
