A Conversation
with Fisk Johnson

By: Henry Bliss, 4ocean Story Producer

4ocean Co-Founder, Alex Schulze, speaks with the CEO of SC Johnson, Fisk Johnson, about the current state of plastic pollution.

After a day's work cleaning up the coastline of Miami, Alex sits down with Fisk to talk about the impact of plastic in our everyday lives. By discussing the environmental consequences of plastic usage and exploring alternative options, they contribute to a crucial dialogue about driving change.

They both encourage collective action to spread awareness.

“It does not only take people's willingness, but it takes businesses to provide the innovation to make things more recyclable.”- Fisk Johnson, CEO, SC Johnson

“It’s a multi-pronged solution that needs to get attacked by everybody- governments, businesses, nonprofits, and consumers. Everybody must do what they can because plastic is a global issue.” - Alex Schulze, Co-Founder, 4ocean

It's through these conversations and actions that meaningful change can be achieved.

During the cleanup, they also conducted microplastic testing. The team filtered seawater from the bay and found an alarming amount of plastic in a seemingly clean water sample.
