Until the end of May 2008, TERRA PLANA, the people who make recycled and ethical shoes, will give you a £10 discount on a pair of their gorgeous shoes if you bring in an old pair of unwanted shoes, any brand, to their Covent Garden or London Bridge stores for recycling. 330 million pairs of shoes go into landfill each year, so here’s your chance to do something about it.
But if you’re not in the London area, you can recycle your shoes too by looking out for shoe recycling bins outside shops, or in supermarket car parks.
