It's not always easy to be eco-friendly, but we're doing our part to make a difference.
The Mermaid Series will feature a couple "eco-friendly" ideas including a bin for donating your old shoes to charity, organic cotton Mermaid apparel, and a goal to recycle 100% of the plastic water bottles.
At our 2007 Santa Cruz Mermaid we donated 80 pairs of shoes! Shoes were then donated to Club Dust and From Our Feet , World Re-Use a Shoe Program.
The Mermaid Series is currently developing new projects to protect the environment and help our planet. Come back soon to find out more about these new exciting projects. Please contact us if you have any ideas or suggestions: info@mermaidtriathlon.com
From Our Feet, World Re-Use a Shoe Program
"From Our Feet" is a world re-use-a-shoe program that has delivered over 5000 pairs of shoes to third-world countries. We would be more than happy to take your old shoes off your hands. Shoes have gone to places such as Kenya, Afghanistan, Laos, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Eritrea, Phillipines and Tajikistan. We also work with select urban and Native American schools. We will take shoes in any condition. Especially shoes smaller than a men's size 10 and kid's shoes. Clean out you closets and tell your friends to clean out their closets too. Bring your old shoes to the Mermaid and we'll take care of the rest. If you have any questions please contact us at info@mermaidtriathlon.com
