Daily Greenz #49

Terra Plana has been making a huge splash in London with their eco-friendly, stylish, and extremely comfortable line of men’s and women’s shoes. Made from recycled materials, their flexible soles make even their high heels a pleasure to wear. Their new line of fall/winter shoes also includes a new project called Sole of Africa. The program’s purpose is to support AIDS orphans in South Africa by teaching unemployed local women to hand-paint the shoes, guaranteeing that each pair is completely unique. Approximately $4.50 of the proceeds of every sale will be donated to charity. In recognition of such efforts, Terra Plana snared the Observer Ethical Award for 2007. Grab yourself a pair for $90 and up at terraplana.com.
