My Green Shoes

OK, I know I am supposed to be posting about palm oil, like I promised in my last post. It’s coming citizens!

In the meantime, I just want to tell you how much I love zappos.com. What does that have to do the environment, you ask? Well I’ll tell you in a moment - hold your horses!

So I love Zappos for several reasons - they have an awesome return policy (365 days!!), free shipping & returns, and uber fast delivery. Yesterday, I ordered some shoes (4pm PST) and they arrived TODAY (at 2pm). How is that for service?

OK, so why am I posting about Zappos? Well, I just happened to buy a pair of envionmentally friendly shoes made by

Simple Green Toe Shoes. These shoes are green because… (I stole that description off the Zappos website):

• Ship in Simple’s totally state-of-the-art/back-to-the-future post-consumer recycled box.
• 100% post consumer paper pulp foot forms.
• Super comfortable upper is constructed from hemp and organic cotton.
• Bamboo lining is soft and comfy.
• All natural latex pedbed covered with an organic cotton canvas for a massaging feel.
• Water based cements are employed for bringing the shoe together.
• Recycled car tire outsole provides grip and traction.

I’m totally digging these shoes - these are my first pair of “green” shoes and I highly recommend it!
