Adidas has created a sports shoe from garbage [floated / floating] in the ocean. The new trainer is part of a project to [raise / rise] awareness of the serious problem of [oceanography / ocean] pollution. Adidas has joined [forges / forces] with an organisation called Parley, which is dedicated [by / to] protecting and [persevering / preserving] the Earth's oceans. Parley's founder Cyrill Gutsch spoke about his organisation's [corporation / cooperation] with Adidas. He said: "Our objective is to [boost / boast] public awareness and to inspire new collaborations that can contribute to [protect / project] and preserve the oceans. We are extremely proud that Adidas is joining us in this mission…to show that it is possible to [twist / turn] ocean plastic into something cool."

Garbage in the ocean is a [hug / huge] problem. UNESCO estimates that in 2006, there were nearly 30,000 pieces of floating plastic for [all / every] square kilometre of ocean. Plastic debris kills over a million seabirds and 100,000 [marine / marinated] mammals every year. Adidas used some of [these / this] plastic to make its new trainer. The [soul / sole] of the sneaker is made from sustainable materials, while the upper uses recycled ocean waste. This consisted of plastic and illegal fishing nets. Adidas says it will be releasing a new trainer made from ocean [wasting / waste] later this year. In another green [initiative / invitation] , the sportswear maker said it would be [phasing / phase] out the use of plastic bags in all Adidas [detail / retail] stores in the [near / nearly] future.
