New shoes

If you're in the market for a new pair of shoes. Try reducing the size of your footprint on the environment by purchasing shoes made from recycled materials. If every American household purchased just one pair of shoes made from recycled materials, 2 million pounds of waste could be diverted from landfills.

I purchased these today. Simple makes the soles from postconsumer tire rubber. They use a water based glue that isn't toxic...and there's more. But they aren't the only ones, Teva also has a new line of sustainable shoes. It looks like Keen also has a sustainable line but I'm having trouble finding it. It's not on their website but I did find it at REI.
