Chakravanti ( @Chakravanti@monero.town ) English2•11 days agoYou can make Pi sized shoes and make them and I’m sure it will happen without doubt. Make those fuckers 4E and fucking no. No, you’ll fucking never do that. Spits on the ground.
sparky@lemmy.federate.cc ( @sparky@lemmy.federate.cc ) 6•13 days agoHi from Portugal, my wife and I have a couple pairs of these. Super comfortable, and you’re helping pay to clean Portuguese beaches!
three ( @three@lemm.ee ) English2•13 days agoOk? Is that product biodegradable? Or if it gets put in the ocean does it become the 2nd generation material for these shoes?
jol ( @jol@discuss.tchncs.de ) 7•13 days agoIt’s up cycled trash. So it help reduce the use of virgin plastic. But it’s only slightly better than plastic shoes
SayCyberOnceMore ( @Cyber@feddit.uk ) English3•13 days agoYeah, it’s a weird concept that I’m not sure how I feel about it…
On the one hand, I’m paying towards something which makes cleaning the ocean more cost effective
On the other hand, when I’m done with the shoes… do I… burn them?
Distractor ( @Distractor@lemm.ee ) English1•11 days agoNo, you hand them in for recycling.
We have a lot of existing plastic. Until we can destroy it without harming the climate, the best we can do is re-use it and not make more. What’s the alternative, have it sit in a dump somewhere poisoning the earth and seeping into underground water?
Panda ( @Panda@lemmy.today ) 3•12 days agoWhy would they put the shoes back in the ocean?
three ( @three@lemm.ee ) English3•12 days agoWhy did that turtle end up with a straw in his nose? Humans are the worst thing that has happened to the earth.
