'How sustainable your pair of shoe is?'

We always go for the ones which are commercially popular , we can see on television big superstars promoting some shoe brand , and we usually fall for it and buy it.

IMPACT OF SHOE INDUSTRY ON ENVIRONMENT

1- Shoe industry toxic and harmful gases

Shoe manufacturing generally poses threats to the wellbeing of our planet as as many toxic gases are produced while manufacturing of shoes. Fossil fuels are burned at high rate for production .

In the production of one shoe , 30 pounds of CO2 is produced.

Shoe industry produce harmful toxins and chemicals while production. This chemical waste is dumped into rivers , which pollute the water and harmful for wild life and humans as well .

The used shoes in the garbage dump is not good for our Environment. Wild animals sometimes exposed to such waste and mistakenly eat it , which results in death of innocent animals .

This Man ..I have so much respect for him. He changed the whole idea of shoe industry .While so many industries were polluting our Environment and hurting our wild life this guy stood up for mother nature .

We all know due to global warming and ozone layer depletion many people are coming across some major health issues. Our Wild life are suffering too and some of them are close to extinction. Will our future generation will see these various species of plants and animals?

If condition remains same this will be a part of some books like Age of dinosaurs. This concerns came from all around the world . Guillaume had the same concern , the only difference is he acted on it . He knew the problem and began to find a solution.

Guillaume have two daughters and being a father he is concern about their future . Every parents wants their children to have a healthy Environment , no pollution, balanced wildlife.
