Join Us for Our First Clean Rivers Fund Product Launch!
We’re thrilled to invite you to be part of a major milestone — the launch of Clean Rivers Fund's very first product! When you purchase a First Edition bead bracelet, you're doing more than wearing a beautiful piece of jewelry. You're funding the removal of ten pounds of trash from our very first river project.
Your bracelet isn't just a symbol — it's a solution. Each one is handcrafted using stunning recycled glass beads, made from glass reclaimed along our beaches and riverbanks. The string is upcycled fishing line, recovered directly from the ocean and sandy shores. Finished with our signature Clean Rivers Fund charm, your bracelet will serve as a daily reminder of the impact you're making.
About Our Projects: Cleaning Up Rivers
There is a common theme among urban waterways. It is a troubling reality: massive amounts of plastic waste polluting these resources.
What they can be and what they are examples:
On our own visits over the years, we were shocked to see rivers littered with plastic debris of all kinds - sandals, straws, styrofoam, bottles, and food packaging. Plastic gets tangled in willows and buried in the soil — making it incredibly hard to remove.
Even more alarming, 70% of all ocean waste originates from land sources. That means it's not just fishing boats causing the problem — it’s plastic waste from streets and storm drains, down creeks, streams and rivers, then carried to the sea.
And the problem doesn’t stop there. Earth.org reports that global plastic consumption has skyrocketed to about 300 million tonnes annually, with up to 11 million tons ending up in our oceans. In one part of the world, this results in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
This "patch" is a swirling mass of plastic debris roughly 1.6 million square kilometers wide — that's larger than Texas and California combined — and it traps millions of tons of plastic waste, some dating back decades.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
By supporting Clean Rivers Fund, you're helping restore beauty to one of the world's most treasured ecosystems — and taking a stand against the global plastic crisis.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Let’s clean up our rivers — together.
