In recent years, there has been an increase in small businesses dedicated to making a positive impact on the world through their sales. Many of these companies are helping people and places across the globe, but a majority of the general population is unaware that these businesses even exist. These small businesses definitely deserve more recognition for what they're doing, so here's an introduction to a few of them so you can help support their causes and spread the word of their missions!

4ocean is a company that sells bracelets made of recycled plastic, and they're donating a portion of their profits towards cleaning the ocean and conserving marine life.

Additionally, they feature a new bracelet every month that specializes in a specific cause, so in addition to clearing trash from the ocean, your purchase can also assist in conserving wildlife life across the globe.
