We are proud to announce our partnership with Got Sneakers, a sneaker recycling organization. Our organization will be holding a series of events so we can collect your unwanted sneakers. Once we send Got Sneakers your sneakers our organization receives a donation for every pair submitted. Yes USED will be recycled making our carbon imprint less and our organization receives a donation.
Here are some words from Got Sneakers:
Today, we're sharing a few ways that you can help get your community involved with giving back to the planet.
While there is an increased focus on sustainable practices during this day, there are many ways you can make a difference all year long:
• Take part in the Great Global Cleanup: Its mission is to remove billions of trash from neighborhoods, beaches, rivers, lakes, trails, and parks - reducing waste and plastic pollution, improving habits and preventing harm to wildlife and humans. Check to see if there are any registered cleanups in your area (or feel free to start one on your own)!
• Create a suitable space for all members of the environment: Projects such as building birdhouses through the National Audobon Society, not only promote unity and teamwork in the community but also help causes that protect our ecosystem such as bird endangerment.
• Invest and promote the use of sustainable fashion: A huge part of the sustainability movement involves cutting down on synthetic fabrics and materials that are used in the production process. Research brands such as Allbirds, Adidas, Stella McCartney, Nike, and Reebok, that not only utilize fair trade practices but also involve themselves in the community through green initiatives.
• Start a sneaker recycling program: Most people throw away their used sneakers ever 125-200 days without ever thinking about recycling. Since most sneakers are not biodegradable they end up spreading toxic chemicals into the air and soil when they are sent to a landfill and burned. Recycling them prevents this from happening, but you can't put them out in your regular recycling bin!
By partnering with GotSneakers, you will be able to easily initiate a sneaker recycling project in your community. Since our launch, GotSneakers has stopped over 75 million pounds of CO2 from entering the air, while also recycling and reusing over 2 million pairs of pre-loved sneakers!
Thank you and HAPPY EARTH DAY!!! Let us all do our part in SAVING our planet!
