Tomorrow is Earth Day and the environment is a topic on everyone's mind these days. Here are a few easy ways kids and adults can recycle and help a good cause at the same time!

Nike: The Reuse-A-Shoe program takes old sneakers of any brand and turns them into the rubbery stuff that lines playgrounds and basketball courts. Drop-off sites include the Nike Factory Outlet in Tanger and Niketown in Manhattan.

Crocs: Your old crocs can be recycled into new shoes for people in need around the world through the Sole United program. 10,000 pairs have recently been sent to Haiti. To get an idea of what it's like not to have your own pair of shoes check out these books Four Feet, Two Sandals by Karen Lynn Williams and Khadra Mohammed and Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts.

Patagonia: Through the Common Threads Garment Recycling Program Patagonia will take and recycle worn-out Patagonia fleece and other brands of Polartec garments, as well as other Patagonia garments marked with the Common Threads tag.
