REAL WORLD—let’s talk loud and messy.
Aside from my busted watch going Tick Tock Tick Tock, I hear the climate-clock evurrrytime I toss a plastic bottle in the bin.
Am I actually recycling this?
Or are big corps just playing me?
(Shoutout to Liquid Death, crushing thirst and crushing the need for plastic bottles. Canned water never looked so rock.)
Meanwhile, plastic islands as big as neighborhoods float on oceans, strangling sea-kind. Everytime I think about it, I feel as helpless as a turtle caught in a six-pack wrap.
BUT — battling the noise in my head is Radiohead's "Optimistic".
"You can try the best you can / The best you can is good enough..."
Turns out Thom Yorke wasn’t just flexing poetic muscle—that lyric came straight from his partner when he was drowning in climate despair.
And lemme tell you:
Sometimes just trying is rebellion.
Trying is revolution.
So here’s me trying:
Introducing the real ones — GOT BAG:
us.got-bag.com
Come on now! Let’s hear those digital hand-claps cause they’re scooping ocean plastic out of the water, breaking it down, recycling it into damn-fine gear.
No greenwashing. No fake promises.
Actual clean-up. Actual dope bags.
I scooped up a messenger backpack and a fanny pack—and believe it, I’m not going back.
Here’s the sauce on why GOT BAG is that real real:
♻️ Made from recycled ocean plastic — one bag = about 9 pounds less floating waste.
🌊 Partners with clean-up crews directly — they actually organize ocean cleanups themselves.
🧵 Fully water-resistant + minimal footprint — they aren't just reusing, they're reducing.
🌎 Mission-driven — the first backpack made completely from ocean plastic. Period.
School didn’t teach us this.
Amazon sure won’t.
But GOT BAG?
They’re out here laying out blueprints for a better tomorrow.
Reuse is recycling and it's revolution.
Before you jump on that $19.99 fast-fashion drop, think about it:
Your money ain’t just currency.
It’s force.
It’s votes.
It’s future.
Spend it like your grandkids are watching.
