Now, if you want to, it’s time to use what we’ve learned. 

No one is going to give you a grade for this.

You won’t get a prize, 

or even a certificate. 

If you write to the kid your sending a backpack to, that kid won’t write back, but here’s the thing–

You will know what you did. 

Your brain will enjoy a shot of the natural chemicals built into your reward system. 

And best of all, 

you will get the unique purpose-payoff: 

You did the right thing, 

the unselfish thing,

the thing that helped … 

helped another person 

and helped you 

be the person all of us want to be.

Will you choose to collect $40.00?

Those forty dollars will: 

→ give a backpack to a child whose family cannot afford to buy one.

→ stop at least 30 plastic bottles from polluting the oceans.

→ plant a mangrove tree in “cyclone alley” of India to protect people and animals the storms and act as a superhero carbon holder.

Oceanbags, is the nonprofit company who offers you all of this information, makes the backpacks from ocean-bound plastic, gets the backpacks to kids in crisis, and pays for the mangroves to be planted.

We are very small. 

But these things we are doing 

make a difference. 

This is what we can do, 

and we do what we can.

We challenge you to do what you can. Ask friends and family to help you: 

Give a bag.

Plant a tree.

Save the sea.
