Slat’s life began to _________ after a holiday trip to Greece with his family when he was 16. Before taking a diving course, he had _________ to see beautiful sea animals.

Although the idea was named one of the best _________ of 2015 by TIME magazine, he received __________ feedback from the specialists in __________ issues.
Slat was not __________ and continued with his mission. After five and a half years’ hard work, he launched the world’s __________ ocean plastic cleanup system: System 001.
