February Events: Beach Cleanup & Continued Shoe Recycling

February will consist of a beach cleanup day at Bellows in cooperation with the Oahu Surfrider Foundation and Sustainable Coastlines. An event has been set up in Zimbra, please reply if you can come. This won’t be an HIC only event, it is open to the public but we can still sport our shirts proudly!

Also, we’ll be continuing our shoe recycling through the end of February. A reminder on the rules are below:

Athletic Shoe Drive

Clean out your closet, take a peek under the bed and ask your friends and family – chances are, you’ll find a few pairs of kicks lying around that have seen better days.

Rules:

• Remove excess mud/dirt as best you can;
• Shoes must be dry (not damp or wet);
• Must be athletic shoes, no sandals, flip flops, dress shoes or cleats;
• Shoes must not have metal parts.

I’ll be dropping them off at the converse outlets for recycling with Nike Reuse a Shoe. Shoes are recycled to created playgrounds, tracks and various running surfaces all over the world. And it’s a great way to keep all those shoes out of the landfill. Drop them off in the box in the green room.
