Blue Ring

For an annual membership of $25, you can "mery the ocean" and celebrate your commitment to the sea. Blue Ring, Inc.

is a company (Benefit Corporation) that will allow people to "marry" the ocean for a membership fee of $25 annually in return for a blue ring. The sole reason for the existence of Blue Ring is to support, via many small-scale commitments, the funding of globally significant ocean exploration and conservation projects that will positively shape the future.

It's that time of year again, friends, and the Blue Ring holiday print raffle is live! As per the usual rules, each ticket is $5 and gets you an entry to win a canvas print of one of Alex Rose's images. This year, we're leaning into some new freshwater content. "Colorful Canyon" is an image from October of this year taken while wading along the Applegate River in California in search of fall foliage. Every dollar you spend goes directly towards supporting Blue Ring's 2024 donation recipient; stay tuned for the announcement of which organization will be getting the funding this year! Raffle closes in two weeks and the winner will be drawn on Monday 12/16.

Happy Earth Day! There's no better way to celebrate than to get out there and enjoy our beautiful blue marble. All smiles after a lovely day of diving in Zanzibar, proudly wearing my Blue Ring sterling silver pendant, a great SPF50 sun suit by Tutublue, and sunscreen by Stream2Sea so I can avoid products that harm corals. Hope you're having a great day outdoors!

Blue Ring sighting out in the wild! Our double-walled stainless steel water bottles will keep your refreshing beverage of choice at the ideal temperature for a minimum of 12 hours, and ensure that we keep single-use plastics away from our waters. We wouldn't want this beautiful view of the Smith River, or any other waterway for that matter, to be marred by trash, so on this World Environment Day, let's think about ways to reduce our impact on the world around us and commit to protecting our environment through actions big and small.

The theme for Earth Day this year is Invest In Our Planet. This highlights the importance of dedicating our time, resources, and energy to solving climate change and other environmental issues. Investing in our planet is necessary to protect it and the best way to pave a path towards a prosperous future. When we Invest In Our Planet together, we are supporting healthy, happy, and wealthy communities worldwide.

We've got some new, blue ways to invest in our planet. We've added two fantastic new sustainable offerings to our product line: bamboo toothbrushes and tote bags made from recycled plastic bottles (rPET). We've also updated the look of our double-walled stainless steel water bottles to a nice, deep blue to reflect our love for the sea.

For the rest of April, if you purchase anything from the Blue Ring Store, we'll include one of these super cool seed paper matchbooks. What's that you ask? Well it's our way of saying "thanks for investing in the planet" by giving you some wildflower seeds to plant and enjoy. www.bluering.blue/store
