Nothing is too small to help the earth. Everyone knows about the blue bins we put our plastic and newspapers in each week but there are ways to reuse without having to use the recycling bin. About twice a year we head to our "local" Stride Rite and get our son new shoes for his ever-growing toddler feet. While I could recycle the shoe boxes I've done what I think is one better. He's not too much of a colorer but still, being able to foster that creativity when it arises is important and what better to hold all the rainbow's colors but a bright Stride Rite shoe box? Sustainable design is important. It's not just pieces that will last, but ones that are environmentally friendly (ie: voc free paint). Atop a crayola table/chair set clearanced on Bed Bath & Beyond is a size 11 shoe box filled with every color imaginable. Happy Earth Day!
