Episode Synopsis
Meet Thousand Fell — a sneaker brand redefining what it means to walk lightly on the planet, and the Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day for October 17.In this Spotlight episode, we turn to footwear — an industry known for its massive footprint yet bursting with opportunity for change. Thousand Fell, based in New York, was founded on a radical but simple idea: design sneakers that never need to end up in landfill.Their shoes blend timeless design and modern performance with circular thinking. Each pair features bio-leather made from food waste, recycled plastic linings, and natural rubber soles — built to last, easy to clean, and ready to be recycled through the brand’s Trade In program. Powered by the SuperCircle platform, those worn-out sneakers get disassembled and reborn into something new.From thoughtful materials to transparent storytelling, Thousand Fell shows how sustainability and style can move in step. It’s a reminder that what we wear on our feet can also point us toward a more circular future — one step at a time.Send us a textSupport the show Thanks for listening to Seeing Green: Solutions for Our Daily Lives.
