The image of a happy Sarah Jessica Parker walking around on the streets of New York wearing absolutely drop dead gorgeous Manolo Blahniks or Jimmy Choos in Sex and the City will forever be embedded in our hearts and mind. From personal experience, I can say that beautiful shoes make a happy woman. However, companies like Miôn, Simple Shoes, Planet Shoes, TerraPlana take this concept to a whole new level. They have come up with eco-friendly shoes which not only make women (and men) happy but they also make for a very happy planet. These shoes come in every style imaginable for men as well as women. They are made completely out of recycled material, animal friendly products and relatively harmless chemicals. What more, the price range for happy earth shoes is quite competitive with shoes costing as less as $74. GreenPiggies have come up with a similar line for children so that our tiny tots learn a lesson or two in saving mother earth.
With eco-friendly shoes, organic food, vegan skin products, one can only imagine what will be the next step in the race to save our planet. Eco-friendly cars have been the talk of the town ever since companies like Honda and Genepax have launched cars that run on water. The commercial viability of these products are still questionable, considering one does not see many people wearing eco-friendly shoes and driving eco-friendly cars. Awareness, thus, become the need of the hour.

Going green is the latest fad and also the need of the hour! When our clothing can be eco-friendly why can’t be our footwear?
