Whole Planet Foundation is Transforming Lives in Costa Rica

What is Ocean’s Halo and what are its sustainability goals?

Ocean’s Halo is a sustainability-driven food brand featuring over 50 organic, Asian-inspired products, including seaweeds, noodles & rice, noodle soups, condiments, and frozen rolls. All products are organic and vegetarian-friendly.

As a member of 1% for the Planet, the brand donates at least 1% of annual revenue to environmental causes focused on ocean conservation, equal access to nature, food education, and mitigating hunger.

How does Ocean’s Halo reduce plastic waste in food packaging?

Ocean’s Halo became the first brand in the U.S. to remove the plastic tray from seaweed snacks in September 2021.

With celebrities rushing to invest in organic food companies these days, Sarah Michelle Gellar truly stands alone.

This long-time Hollywood actress isn’t writing a check, fading into the background and hoping for a payout several years down the line. She is doing the exact opposite.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is helping to run and is playing an active role in building one of the hottest organic food brands in the industry. Along with her two other co-founders, CEO Galit Laibow and COO Greg Fleishman, Foodstirs is redefining the healthy baking category by using the best organic and Biodynamic ingredients available.

In addition to her acting career and responsibilities at Foodstirs, this Emmy Award-winning actress and mother of two recently released Stirring up Fun with Food: Over 115 Simple, Delicious Ways to be Creative in the Kitchen, her #1 best-selling book. Organized by the month, Stirring up Fun with Food succeeds because of its approach — providing engaging “food-crafting” ideas that help kids develop self-confidence, creative thinking, and even math skills in the kitchen.

David Bronner, the Cosmic Engagement Officer (CEO) of Dr. Bronner’s, saw this coming years ago.

With California having legalized cannabis in 2016, he knew that this plant was headed down the path of other agricultural crops — mass industrialization, genetic engineering, enormous energy consumption through fossil fuels, and the displacement of small-scale family farmers.

Where cannabis differs from other agricultural commodities, however, is that there can be no such thing as “organic cannabis” until the federal government stops classifying it as an illegal drug.
