Ok so as the first post on this very fab new blog that me and my mate have started we decided that it should be something very cool while it also (of course!) helps the environment.
So we decided to write something about CoolRunning. This is a non-profit organisation that exists in several continents around the world. What they do? They collect your old sneakers for you and re-use them! How great is that?? That means that people who really need new runners but aren't able to afford them are given ones that people have donated. You get a nice warm and fuzzy feeling because you have totally been able to help someone. OK so maybe not all they're problems are fixed but at least they have new shoes.
For more info on this organisation go to their website ----> http://www.coolrunning.com.au/runningguide/wiki/index.php/Recycled_Runners
Go on look through your wardrobe for those runners you haven't worn in ages and donate them!
Check out the site for donation locations.
Perhaps even do this as a group....you could get all you mates together and make a huge group donation of perhaps ten pairs of sneakers.
Ahhh so many possibilities!
