World Shoe Relief: Go Green and Help the Homeless, Too!

Now you can green your workouts and help the homeless by recycling your running shoes here.  Recently, as I was buying a new pair of Nike’s at my neighborhood running store, I happened to asked if they sold any recycled, eco-friendly products.  My friend and general manager, Linda Sparling, said that they take their customers’ old shoes and ship them to The World Shoe Relief organization.  This organization resoles the shoes and distributes them to the homeless.    

I’d like to ask everyone within our Intent community to recycle your workout shoes by shipping them to Run the Planet or if you live in the LA area, take them to Front Runners in Brentwood.  Let’s start a new, eco-friendly, good Intentions, Recycling Running Revolution!  Plus, it’s a tax write-off including shipping and mailing; how frugally green is that?

With blessings and abundance,
Linda LaRue, RN MEd, ATC

    About 4 months ago I was sitting at an outdoor cafe. A young woman sat at another table with no shoes on. She was not quite all there. She just sat and looked around.

    She attempted to go inside to get a glass of water. She was told she had to have shoes on if she wanted to go inside….I went in and refilled my soda and gave it to her.

    When I got ready to leave I asked her if she wanted a pair of shoes, she quickly answered yes. We walked a few stores down to a shoe store, went inside and I bought her a pair of really soft leather running shoes… I saw her again the very next day without any shoes on. I asked her where they were. She said "I have no shoes." I asked here if she remembered that we bought a pair yesterday and she was wearing them. Her answer was, "Only rich people wear shoes." I smiled and walked away. Her feet looked like she hadn't worn shoes in years.

    In love and peace,

    This was my conclusion: Like all financial crises there will be a period where

    markets will face a downward momentum, probably reaching below

    where the equilibrium correction level should be.bouncy balls |cosmetic packaging
