Shoes are a mode of transportation for many families all over the world. Today, there are children in developing nations wearing water bottles as shoes. The fact that they do not have affordable footwear is both upsetting and unnecessary. The collection of sneakers not only helps the environment by reducing landfill waste, it also provides these sneakers with a second life while giving children and adults the opportunity to lead active and healthy lives.
Things to note when it comes to secondhand goods:
*24% of the world are unaware that shoes can be recycled
*86% of the world depends on secondhand clothing, including sneakers
*75% of the world's population depends on secondhand clothing, including sneakers
*95% of shoes takes 30-40 years to decompose in our landfills
