Earth Day is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year an and annual event that raises awareness about environmental issues. Earth Day founders strongly believed all people, regardless of race, gender, income, or geography, have a moral right to a healthy, sustainable environment. This premise is still relevant today.
To wear on Earth Day, I found the adorable Anita shoes from PURE that looks like is sprouted out of a lush organic garden. These are available on Style Feeder.com.
PURE (Promoting the Use of Renewable Energy) is the genius of the eco shoe industry’s perfect pair Elizabeth Rickard and Binith Shah. The husband and wife team are known for their shoe style brilliance and their shoes have been seen on many conscientious celebrities.
Richard Shah PURE line gives shoes a new soul. Each pair is not only made from natural and fair-trade materials like soy and leather-alternatives. leather we found and use is treated using Rhubarb, Oak and Tara seed pods. And all ingredients used in the dying process are sustainably harvested. The supplier uses the citric acid from the rhubarb for detergents and composts the remainder. Plus the Tara pods can be used as sore throat medicine. They also only use lime and natural enzymes to strip hides of their hair. No heavy metals, NO CHROME and no off gassing has been used in treating the leather.
What I appreciate about this shoe line is that the couple has taken proactive steps to respect the environment. As a result beautiful sustainable shoes are produced. What more can you ask for!
Take time and honor the Earth.
