Some art from the next generation of ocean lovers
JUST Water is obviously a liquid-facing organization. The folks at JUST love the water not just for the fact that they put it boxes and deliver it to your home, and not just for the fun and recreation and waves to surf it provides us all and not just because. But on World Oceans Day, a day the frickin UN has set aside for us all to celebrate the ocean and work on preserving it for all the life on earth, the folks at JUST are helping to pass their commitment to sustainability onto the next generation. They asked their kids “What do you love about the ocean?” and then gave them some crayons and scissors and such and these are the results.
“What do you love about the ocean?”

‘O’ is for ocean, by Anzel
