SHOES

You can reduce the size of your footprint on the environment by purchasing shoes made from recycled materials. Look for soles made from post consumer tire rubber, insoles made from foam cushions, or canvas made from old jackets or jeans. Your new footprint could represent the reuse and recycling of almost anything from soda bottles, foam cups, milk jugs, cardboard, and magazines to denim, coffee filters, file folders, cork, blankets, and burlap sacks. If every American household purchased one pair of shoes made from recycled materials, the savings could total more than two hundred million pounds of waste diverted from landfills.
