Micro Mahalo
Micro Mahalo turns microplastics into colorful letter magnets, ornaments and Christmas stocking charms. Elm said she came up with the idea of repurposing microplastics because little else can be done.

She regularly participates in community-organized beach clean-ups and she gives 15% of her proceeds back to ocean and beach conservation efforts.
