Want to know what makes us smile?

The planet. Our planet. Planet Earth. You know, that big blue/green blob we live on? That big, spherical, wonderball all of us happyhumans meander around on….Ringing any bells? We thought so.

Chances are, if you’re like us, meandering always feels better when you’ve got a cushy pair of sandals under your toes. It makes trekking near and far a much more pleasant endeavor– and it’s something to be thankful for. So thankful in fact, that Sanuk wants to give Mother Earth a little love.

Recently, with the inception of The R.A.S.T.A Project and its line of signature sandals, Sanuk has devoted much of its focus to reducing its footprint–no matter how comfy it is. The R.A.S.T.A. Project which stands for Recyled And Sustainable Trade Alliance is a sub division of Sanuk Footwear.

The R.A.S.T.A. Project aims to reduce its impacton the world by providing footwear that is truly impact  free. Everything from the sandals’ materials (including: recycled-tired outsoles, jute, hemp natural latex and recycled plastic bottles) to the packaging as been chosen in a effort to be more environmentally friendly.

Now’s where the real fun begins. In an effort to make going green even more groovy….

This is your chance to hunker down in your Sanuks and help out planet little by little. Sometimes making a bigger initiative happen comes via baby steps. Here’s how you can help (and score some free Sanuk swag in the process)
