To care and give to others is an act that moves usA waterfull initiative in social sustainability arises between LEMON JELLY and OCEAN ALIVE. This year you can give a positive meaning to your purchases. From November 19th to 30th, a selection of designs on our online shop will have a 10% discount, plus 10% of your purchase will revert entirely to a project we are very fond of: Ocean Alive. With a Portuguese soul, Ocean Alive focuses its work on the Portuguese Sado estuary, but their actions and vision have a wider impact, since the ocean belongs to us all. The connection was set and the aim was united. |
