Day 61: Wore New Eco-Friendly Sneakers

Day 61: Wore New Eco-Friendly Sneakers

Today I wore my new eco-friendly Simple sneakers. I received a complimentary pair when I checked out the preview of their 2010 fall fashion line. Honestly, I like the new line better than these, but I won’t complain.

The Daily Green did a wrap up of Simple shoes and describes them as made, “from hemp, bamboo, organic cotton, recycled tires and other sustainable things.

GreenYour.com also provides a list and explanation of hazardous sneaker materials and what to look for in eco friendly kicks.

What was your simple green act for the day?

    Mike, I'm on day 61 and intend to continue until day 365 because your site is very cool. The subject is serious but your photos are very entertaining/funny. Like this one today. I wanted to tell you how I learned of your site: on a program about technology that goes on an open brazilian TV channel on Sundays afternoon. They also have a website and I rescued the matter that talks about your "possible mission". If you did not know this information, go to http://olhardigital.uol.com.br... By the way, they mentioned you on the tips of the table "TI verde" (green information technology).
