We love our eco friendly shoes here at PlanetShoes.com and
Greenbees is a great example of what can be done when you commit to a cause, and to fashion. Two women, childhood friends, who had an affinity for tire swings, founded Greenbees. As they got older and had their own children and became aware of the worsening state of the earth, they decided to find a product to make with recycled tires to do their best to make an impact on landfills everywhere. Greenbees is that product – fashion conscious and beautifully made
boots,
sandals and casual shoes that use eco friendly leather and recycled tires for soles.
Did you know one tire can make four pairs of shoes? The folks at Greenbees do! They make all their shoes and boots in Mexico and sell them worldwide. Since it’s estimated that there are 2-3 billion tires in landfills in the US, they have a lot of shoes and boots to make, but they are up for the challenge. Greenbees did a lot of looking around and they realized what a negative impact used rubber tires have on the environment. Whether they are just sitting in a landfill, gathering water and breeding mosquitoes, or they are being burned and destroying air quality, they are not good for the earth. So Greenbees has committed to making a dent in this trash crisis in the US. Greenbees is also using sustainable tannery practices that forego the use of formaldehyde and heavy metals, in their leathers. Additionally, for every pair of Greenbees sold, a tree is planted through Trees for the Future.
