Crocs footwear is trying to help this situation by taking old, worn-out Crocs and making them into new SolesUnited Recycled Shoes. To date, SolesUnited has donated over 1 million pairs of recycled shoes, and they hope to donate 2 million more in 2008. It is an amazing organization that helps so many people.
Here's the CEO of Crocs, Ron Snyder, explaining the program in this video:
I am so glad to have found out about this program. Now when my kids outgrow their summer shoes I will be donating them, I hope you do the same.
Ta Ta for now,
