Every step you take in plastic-based sneakers leaves a trail of environmental damage. 🌎 But there are sustainable options, I decided upon @allbirds wool sneakers! Using renewable merino wool instead of an all pleather aka plastic sneaker. I found their stylish kicks are comfortable and good for the planet. There are so many other brands as well who are using more sustainable yet safe materials I'll link them below. Let me know if you know of more awesome no or low plastic brands. @veja @cariuma @olivercabell @beckettsimonon In 2018 alone, over 24 billion pairs of sneakers were made globally, with the U.S. consuming 2 billion pairs. Nearly half of exported shoes worldwide are made of plastic. This synthetic material clogs our oceans and landfills for centuries as they're extremely difficult to recycle & biodegrade, the glues, stitching, and molding make most sneakers a toxic plastic nightmare. By choosing eco-friendly brands, we can take steps towards reducing our plastic footprint with every stride. plasticfree sustainableshoes sustainablefashion lowtoxliving lowtoxlife
