You Can Help Patagonia Support Healthy Child, Healthy World

From now until the end of the day on April 23, 2012, Patagonia will donate $10 to Healthy Child, Healthy World for every pair of Patagonia shoes purchased from Online Shoes.

To raise awareness for this promotion, Patagonia is giving away a pair of their shoes to one lucky Smart Green Tips reader. Read on for more details. . .

I’ve written about Healthy Child, Healthy World before and discussed the important work they are doing to keep us and our children safe. You can read my post about them and visit their site yourself for helpful information and to learn more about how they bring about change.

Patagonia has long been a company that focuses on quality shoes and clothing just as much as they focus on their environmental impact. It’s fitting that a great company like Patagonia would support an organization like Healthy Child.

As part of this promotion, I was able to get my own pair of Patagonia shoes. I went with the Release Leather Trail Running Shoe and I couldn’t be happier. They are incredibly comfortable and stable with a gender-specific Vibram® outsole. As with most of their shoes, Patagonia has incorporated recycled materials into the Release.

For a chance to win your own pair of Patagonia shoes (you may select from any Patagonia shoes at Onlineshoes.com), simply do any or all of the things below and leave a comment for each, letting me know that you did them.

• Sign up for Smart Green Tips email updates (using the form on the upper right of this page) and leave a comment letting me know you did.

• Tweet this post to raise awareness about the promotion & the giveaway (include your tweet url in the comments).

• “Like” or Share this post on Facebook.

The winner will be announced on Earth Day, April 22. If you don’t happen to be the lucky winner, you’ll still have time to support Healthy Child through this promotion and snag yourself a great pair of Earth-friendly shoes in the process.

Update: The winner of the Patagonia Shoe Giveaway is Julie. Congratulations! Watch for an email from me letting you know how to get your shoes.
