欧美人文风情第256篇:用海洋垃圾打造时尚潮鞋

 We made an incredible¹, moldable, indestructible material. But when we dump it, it doesn't go away. 我们制造出一种不可思议、可随意塑形、坚不可摧的材料。但当我们将之丢弃时，它并不会消失。

Now one truck of it ends up in our oceans every minute. 现在每分钟有一卡车的塑料最后进到我们的海洋。

It's killing² sea life. The fish eat the trash; then we eat the fish. 那正在扼杀海洋生命。鱼吃垃圾；然后我们再吃鱼。

We're feeding ourselves our own garbage, and it's now in our bloodstreams. 我们用自己造的垃圾喂养自己，而那现在流在我们的血液中。

We've got to avoid plastic; we've got to get it out of the ocean and reuse it. 我们必须避免塑料；我们必须将它从海洋中清出，然后重新利用。

Look. What if we took some trash and made a sports shoe out of it? 听着。假如我们用一些垃圾，然后用那做出运动鞋会发生什么事呢？

And then we made a million more from 11 million plastic bottles? 接着我们用一千一百万罐保特瓶再做一百万只运动鞋？

What if that was just the start? And what if everyone did that? 要是那只是起点而已呢？如果每个人都那样做会怎样？
