The Urgent Encore

Plastic pollution is threatening their ocean stage. Time for audience intervention. While octopuses may be able to escape from most tricky situations, plastic pollution is one threat from which they cannot hide. If you love octopuses with all of your heart(s) as much as we do, take a moment to help them and keep their ocean habitat clean and plastic-free. 

Pro Tip: It’s “octopuses” – grammar nerds, take note.
