British eco-friendly swimwear brand 1st Man 1st Woman has launched a crowdfunding campaign to highlight the plight of the sea turtle, whose habitat has suffered due to pollution and climate change. There are around 40,000 sea turtles left in the world and over 1000 turtles are killed every year by plastic waste in our oceans and on our beaches.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of the sea turtle through the launch of standout pieces that are also great talking points. 1st Man 1st Woman will be donating a proportion of pledges made to the Oceans UK charity, which seeks to solve the environmental issue of plastic waste through education, science and sustainability programmes. There are rewards ranging from £3 £10’s for an eco print to limited edition swimwear. Rewards include an eco print, t-shirt and swimwear, all ethically designed and packaged in biodegradable packaging.
