Conscious Choice: Timberland
Popular footwear company Timberland is doing its part to help stamp out global warming.
Timberland recently pledged to plant a tree in England's Forest of Marston Vale for every pair of boots sold at its flagship London store; the response has been so overwhelming that the program will likely be expanded to the United States, says Betsy Blaisdell, Timberland's manager of environmental stewardship.
About a year ago, the company installed solar panels at its distribution center in Ontario, Calif., a move that keeps 480,000 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the air each year.
Timberland makes it easier for you to go green too. Many of their shoes, including the Moorland boot shown here, contain eco materials like cork; look for new bamboo wedge heels this spring.
