Did you know that your gently worn sneakers could help the First Responder Outreach Group?
Well, they can and here’s how…Our team is participating in a fundraiser where there is nothing to buy or sell;
All we need is your support and your gently worn, used, or new sneakers!
Did You Know?
Most people throw away their used sneakers every 125-200 days without ever thinking about recycling. Since sneakers are manufactured with materials that are not biodegradable, they remain in landfills or are incinerated, which leads to toxic chemicals in our air and soil.
The process of manufacturing sneakers produces large amounts of CO2 which contributes to the serious effects of climate change and global warming. Recycling and reusing sneakers keeps sneakers out of landfills, reduces the need for manufacturing new shoes and sneakers, and supports a growing circular economy.
Here’s how you can help: Start in your and your family’s closets and gather as many pairs of sneakers that you no longer want; maybe you’ve out-grown them, they’re out of style, or out of season. If you and your household have 20 pairs, great!
If not, don’t worry. You can ask your neighbors, friends, co-workers, church, school, events, and anyone in your social networks to help out. Every pair counts! The sneakers that we all collect will help raise money to support our program AND will help our environment by keeping sneakers out of landfills.
