Plastic Pollution to Precious Jewelry with Alice Birnbaum of ABSeas

What if jewelry became a powerful medium for change? An ocean activist, traveler, and jewelry brand founder, Alice Birnbaum turns littered microplastics into one-of-a-kind treasures. Inspired by the plastic pollution she encountered traveling and doing beach cleanups, ‘AB Seas’ pieces build awareness around the plastic crisis and our ability to transform it with beautiful, creative solutions. We ask Alice about balancing entrepreneurship and beach cleanups with artistry and mental health. Her story is an example of what happens when one’s time and place aligns with their passions, skills, and life calling to make a positive difference in our world.
