Would you send Laneo your old running shoes? - 29 Nov 2007
We’ve been thinking about putting together a recycle program with some of our corporate partners and we’d like to know if you’d like to participate?
The idea is to promote sustainability when purchasing new equipment by exchanging your old equipment at time of purchase. Most textiles can be re-used in some form and shoes can be partially recycled, and there also other ways of putting your used wares to good use. We have partners that have programs underway to put things like bicycles to better use, heart monitors that can be refurbished and backpacks dismantled to extract and re-use certain materials.
We’re discussing plans to partner with worldwide carriers (Fedex, DHL, UPS etc.) that have the capability to carry out sophisticated logistics linked with our web based membership, which will optimize the carbon footprint of such an operation.
If you’re interested, please respond to this post with a “yes” and feel free to add any comments and we’ll keep you updated on our progress.
This world-renowned & unique Sailing race has done quite a bit over the years in terms of both reducing the race’s eco footprint and encouraging those involved to take part in eco initiatives surrounding the event. This year’s race went even further with each navigator signing an official charter, initiating a Forest replanting program in Bahia that will offset the CO2 emissions and launch the “More for Bahia – Mission” (Helping respect sustainable development criteria in coffee farms & sending two students on a mission to Brazilian coffee farms).
