Mion - An Environmentally Responsible Company

While reading Plenty Magazine online, I came across Mion, a footwear company. Let Plenty tell you what is so special about this company and Mion's water shoe in particular:

"Thanks to a conscientious R&D department, these shoes are created using fewer raw materials and are manufactured with 90% less waste than the average sports shoe. Also, the company purchases energy credits from wind turbines to offset 100% of the energy used to produce their products. Even the box is recycled (and, in the interest of full disclosure, stamped with an EcoMetrics label). But Miōn’s commitment to the environment goes beyond their products: they've also created the Miōn Solutions Environmental Film Awards to honor filmmakers who bring environmental issues into the public eye (winners will be announced in a few days at the Outdoor Retailer conference in Salt Lake City, UT)."

Next month's issue of Plenty will also feature eco-friendly boots.
