Consumers can help build playgrounds by visiting Zappos for Good, requesting a free shipping label, and sending all styles of well-loved Native Shoes to be recycled, says a press release from Native Shoes. The project's goal is to receive 10,000 recycled shoes by December 31, 2018 and build its first playground in 2019.
