Earth TOMS

On Wednesday many students across campus will go out of their way to promote and participate in green initiatives in honor of Earth Day. TOMS at UGA will take part in an Earth Day celebration sponsored by the Go Green Alliance titled “It's SO Easy Being Green!”

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. the TOMS team will be in Tate Plaze raising awareness about the ways TOMS Shoes works to help the environment. In addition to being committed to its “one for one” mission, the company works to make its shoes as eco-friendly as possible.

Several shoe styles are available that are 100 percent vegan, meaning no animal bi-products were used in the making of the shoes. The dye of many styles of shoes is lead-free. In the newer styles, the soles are made of a recycled rubber blend. The April 2009 edition of 'InStyle' magazine included TOMS Shoes on its list of fashion-forward items winning a “green award.”

Not only are you helping children in need when you purchase TOMS, but you are also helping the environment. TOMS Shoes is truly dedicated to producing “shoes for tomorrow” in every way possible.
