CREATING A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Plastic pollution is a huge problem - and it´s getting bigger by the minute. The world has created more plastic in the last 16 years than in 50 years before.
If plastic waste continues to make its way into our seas, environmentalists predict we'll find more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050.
We are the generation that has to build a better world for the future.
But as apocalyptic as this sounds, it is not too late for a comeback if everyone is ready to change their mindset: “We all need to act now, because if we wait longer than that, things are going to get worse. We are the generation that must build a better world for the future.” Known as a passionate activist for the environment, Stefanos Tsitsipas has encouraged the followers of his vlog more than once to help save our planet.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR A COMEBACK
He's right, of course. We all have to do our share -- not just by changing our habits, but also by finding solutions to the problem. Since 2012, adidas has been rethinking, redesigning, and introducing innovative ways to end plastic waste. Our goal is to be completely free from virgin polyesters by 2024 by turning problems into products that improve performance for Creators and for our environment.
If we want to keep our oceans, we have to do something now.
“If we want to keep our oceans, we have to do something now. So I am more than happy to wear this message for more sustainability on the court", says Alexander Zverev who grew up in Hamburg, just off the German north sea coast. Together with Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Garbiñe Muguruza and Angelique Kerber, he is part of the movement for cleaner oceans and plays in the PRIMEBLUE tennis collection.
