Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Your Sneaker’s Footprint
February 4th, 2010 by The Barefoot Blogger: Laura Kleinbaum
Simply recycling just doesn’t do it anymore. Now, if you want to be truly environmentally responsible, you have to eat local, carry your own reusable water bottle, and drive a hybrid car. Actually, forget about driving entirely and get a bike…a used bike…rebuilt from the parts of other trash bikes. There’s a lot to keep track of, and endless advice to be dispensed, but every vegan and her yoga teacher are qualified to do it.
I am not a yoga teacher. I am not a vegan, nor do I ever want to participate in a recipe exchange with one. I am however, a girl who knows shoes. So I’m going to pass this little environmentally friendly fashion tidbit onto you.
Want to do your part? Wear sustainable footwear! Note: I would never be making this suggestion if these sneaks weren’t cute. Sometimes I leave the lights on when I go out.
