Have you ever heard that you can save the environment by buying a pair of shoes? Well, it is true. Cri de Coeur (cry from the heart) is not producing crocodile tears with their mission statement.

 … [Cri de Coeur] mission is to become a name synonymous with high fashion and uncompromising ethical values.  We will also attempt to make a real impact on people’s mindsets as they shop by helping them to be more aware of how theirpurchases affect the planet.” 

They have also partnered with The Carbon Fund. The Carbon Fund (www.thecarbonfund.org) works in various ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. 

So, if you truly care about you earth, it seems that any business or individual can take steps in helping it. About the shoes, they do speak to the comfy and earthy side of my personality, but I feel like if you could spice them up with a black dress. 

You can find these bio-friendly shoes online and in stores. In New York, they are located @ Clarabella, 279 East Houston Street; and Coclico, 275 Mott Street.
