Green Fitness: Recycle Shoes
Whether you're training for a marathon or just trying to shed a few pounds, this week's tips will help you go green while getting fit.
Tip #4: Give Old Shoes New Life
Perhaps your intensifying workout program calls for shoes with more support, better fit, or smarter design. Your old kicks needn't end up in a landfill. Organizations like Soles4Souls and One World Running donate used sneakers to those in need. Nike will transform worn-out shoes (of any brand) into Nike Grind, which is used as a surface material for basketball courts and running tracks. Looking for a local shoe recycling program?
