Every year, Time Out ranks the best cities in the world. For 2024, it’s ranking the world’s 30 coolest streets—and five U.S. cities made the cut. But these are not expected spots (sorry, Fifth Avenue). Instead these are places with true character and charm, where you can eat, drink, dance, shop and stroll.
International Women’s Day: 4 Women Creating Ways To Protect The Ocean
07.03.2024 - 05:53 / forbes.com
Every day women around the world are coming up with innovative ways to get others to connect with and care about the ocean – the most important eco-system on the planet.
From spinning up new ways of making jewelry to get women to feel beautiful and empowered in the ocean to creating conservation programs that empower local communities, these women are proving that innovative thinking will provide the solutions we need to make the ocean more inclusive and inspire more people of all genders to take action in protecting it.
As a passionate scuba diver, Heather Stringer wanted to create a line of water-proof jewelry that moves with you on any adventure, no matter how deep below the surface you explore. Thus, her minimalist fashion brand Tula Blue ascended from the depths of her love for the ocean, where she and her team in Texas hand make each individual piece using sustainably sourced crystals and semi-precious gemstones spun and secured onto nautical-grade rope that is similar to what sailboats use.
“Each piece of Tula Blue, whether it be an anklet or a necklace, is designed to be a gift from the planet so that in turn you can be a gift for the planet,” says Stringer. “We’ve redefined how you can wear your intentions and are helping female scuba divers and freedivers feel beautiful while they explore and protect the ocean.”
Tula Blue is the first water-proof jewelry line made specifically with ocean explorers and advocates in mind – with the range of crystals and gemstones representing the various healing powers the ocean can provide and serving as a reminder that it will take a community of like-minded females to keep our ocean beautiful and healthy. One of the most popular amongst scuba divers is the labradorite pendant, which represents a drop of the ocean and metaphysically is a gemstone that is one of the most powerful protectors and enhances connection in the natural world.
Weaving purpose into everything they do, Heather has teamed up with PADI’s non-profit AWARE Foundation to donate 5% of every purchase to ocean conservation.
While on a dive trip in Palau, Blum saw first-hand how the products we put on our bodies can be highly toxic to our ocean’s fragile eco-system. Being a cosmetic chemist by trade, Blum knew how harmful these types of products could be to both humans and the ocean and decided to start Stream2Sea, a mineral based collection of skin and hair protection products that are proven safe for freshwater and saltwater marine life.
“Personal care pollution may not be the biggest challenge to our reefs, but it is one that we can easily change,” explains Blum. “Being a diver, I have been able to educate thousands of others how our choices can make a difference, how to read ingredient
