To promote the documentary film Coextinction and bring awareness to the need to prevent the extinction of the Southern Resident Orcas, Dr. Bronner's launched limited-edition labels for its 32-ounce Castile Liquid Soaps in Canada. As a presenting partner of the film about the dwindling orca population and the ripple effect it has on other species, Dr. Bronner's created a label that urges people to "Protect Orcas!"
The first-ever limited-edition advocacy soap label for the Canadian market from the brand targets four key actions that people can take in order to help to protect this vulnerable species: supporting Indigenous sovereignty, ending open net salmon farming, removing obsolete dams and stopping fossil fuel pipelines.
These awareness-boosting and action-inspiring labels appear on 85,000 soap bottles from Dr. Bronner's.
