Two entrepreneurs are making waves by creating skateboards out of fishing nets discarded in the waters off Chile around 640,000 fishing nets clog up the oceans around us and that is only a 1/10th of the garbage. Many many people helped by picking up trash and donating money towards this. they took fishing nets and made them into plastic beeds and were created as a mold for a longboard and they sold out very quickly because these boards if they keep being made it could put a big helpful environmental impact around us!
