Adidas Ocean Plastic Shoe Line
|
Adidas has collaborated with Parley this May to create a new line of shoes, UltraBoost Parley. These shoes contain about 11 plastic water bottles per pair, which are taken from the oceans in an effort to clean them up. Adidas has also switched from plastic to paper bags in all retail stores. If more corporations strive to be as Eco-friendly as Adidas, not as much plastic would be found in our oceans.

Individual Efforts
By looking at the Top 10 Items Found in polluted oceans, it is easy to see one similarity between the pollutants: they are all single-use items, and most are made of plastic. Most of these items can be reduced by individual changes in lifestyle, such as not smoking cigarettes, buying a reusable bottle for beverages, and not using plastic silverware and straws.
