I recently sent out an email message with a link to a great program that Nike has initiated to help reduce waste and close the loop on their manufacturing processes. Their "Nike Grind" is a material they're using to help surface basketball courts, tennis courts, etc., and is made from recycled shoes. If you haven't checked it out yet, take a minute to visit the link here:

I know as someone who exercises regularly, I go through athletic shoes (and you should too) every 6-8 months. Now with this new program, Nike offers the opportunity to make use of those worn out shoes rather than making waste with them. Their Recycle-A-Shoe program offers drop-off locations for old shoes at many locations including most Nike stores and outlets.
