Together, and by taking action, we can restore the ocean's health! Plastics are present everywhere, and this design depicts a pair of hands rescuing a turtle from a mass of trash and plastic. The hands holding the turtle are comprised of a variety of shapes with varying skin tones, signifying that environmental conservation may begin with each and every one of us, regardless of our ability or race.

Hands with red and blue coloring are shackled. Red and blue stand for the conventional/stereotypical hues used to depict men and women, respectively. Handcuff represents the idea that the concept of gender is limited to gender binary by using the gender symbols for male and female. "Break the stereotypes" is the resolution for people being freed from the conventional gender framework that restricts sexual and gender variety. Purple is also included in the key's design since it has historically been linked to efforts for gender equality and represents justice and dignity.
