An eco-conscious footwear company announced a milestone in efforts to save the rainforest after just one week of online sales. For every purchase of "square foot" sandals, Chipkos is protecting one hundred square feet of land, and already the company has adopted more than one million square feet of Costa Rican tropical forest in Guanacaste.
The goal of the Chipkos "Stand for Square Feet" program is one hundred million sq. feet of rainforest protected, using their non-profit preservation partner,
SaveNature.Org.
"Chipkos represents a real and actionable campaign to purchase and protect endangered rain forest land. We are proud to support this first-of-its-kind program combining a product with rain forest adoption," says Norm Gershenz, Director of SaveNature.org.
