-In honor of Earth Month and Earth Day, NotCo has launched an initiative to help save an endangered species with the launch of “NotTurtle Soup.” Over the past decade, the global green sea turtle population has decreased to a dwindling 85,000 creatures, classifying it as an endangered species. One of the driving forces in the decline has been the consumption of green sea turtles as part of traditional dishes like the turtle soup.
