Soles United: Recycle Your Used Crocs

SLensmaster SusanVillasLewis just contributed the first lens for the May Charity Challenge!

Soles United: Recycle Your Used Crocs is a great lens that tells you exactly where you can recycle your Crocs.

Susan says, "As of the start of 2008, the Soles United program has been going for about 18 months (they've already given away more than 1 million shoes!). But it was launched into the public eye at the end of January 2008 when the Celebrity Apprentice teams were assigned the task of raising awareness about Soles United."

So check out Soles United: Recycle Your Used Crocs!
