It's great that not only consumers but also big companies are more and more convinced everyone can help save the planet. Like Adidas making sneakers from recycled plastic:



The company even made a pledge to only use recycled plastic shoes as early as by the year 2024. Yeah!

Starbucks is also committed to the cause and banned single use plastic straws from its coffee shops. Wonderful! They replaced the plastic straws by straws made from paper. But the company really missed the point by wrapping every single paper straw in...a piece of single use plastic:
