🎃🌊 TRICK OR TREAT? 👻✨

It’s October 1st, and all month long we’re playing a little TRICK OR TREAT with our ocean. 🍬🌊

Some things that sound good for the planet are actually TRICKS 🕸️ like greenwashing, misleading labels, vague “eco-friendly” claims and packaging designed to look greener than it really is.

But there are plenty of TREATS worth celebrating too! 🎉🐢

Real solutions. Ocean wins. Wildlife success stories. Communities making a difference. And everyday choices that actually help.

🗓️ Follow along with our October Trick or Treat Calendar!

👻 TRICKS = We’ll expose greenwashing, misleading claims, hidden trade-offs, fake certifications, and other spooky things to watch out for.

🍬 TREATS = We’ll celebrate real progress for our ocean, wildlife, waterways, and communities.
And here’s your first Halloween hint:

🕸️ Just because a package says “green,” “natural,” “earth-friendly,” or “eco-friendly” doesn’t necessarily mean it is.

Tomorrow, we’ll show you one of the easiest greenwashing TRICKS to spot. 👀🎃

💬 Got a TRICK or TREAT you think belongs on our calendar? 
Drop it in the comments! 
We may feature it this month.

🎃 31 days.
👻 Plenty of tricks.
🍬 Lots of treats.
🌊 One ocean worth protecting.
