"A magnificent store to get your stuff! Don’t waste money elsewhere. Support this location and buy incredible items. You can also come and refill your glass bottles for hygiene and personal care products. I have bought handmade minimal sea glass bracelets here, plus kitchen cleaning items, soaps, etc. It’s amazing and the cashiers and employees are volunteer or helpers with an incredible amount of knowledge to help conserve foe your life and help protect our oceans!!"

"The first org to tackle plastic pollution and probably still the best! They have a store with BYO Long Beach which has personal care and cleaning product refills and other plastic minimal products. They do free monthly bay cleanups, quarterly beach cleanups, screen movies, give presentations, host workshops AND do actual research on plastic pollution too!"

"Algalita is a pioneer organization in ocean plastic pollution, I really admire their hard work in the research and promoting reducing plastic movement locally and internationally, they also have lots of workshops and beach cleaning events. Plastic alternative products and BYO shop is offered here, as well as you can bring your non-recyclables to the Terracycle bin to this location. Awesome place!"
