Element has created the Power To The Planet campaign towards the end of 2008 to raise environmental awareness. For Spring 2009 they have released several sneakers as part of the “Power To The Planet” collection, all produced from bamboo. The outcome is not only environmentally friendly but also looking really nice. The collection includes the Carnegie, Tim Tim and Why-no models.
Check out the Element Spring 2009 “Power To The Planet” Footwear in detail after the jump.

too bad bamboo textiles are actually bad for the environment. While they regenerate quickly the process to break them down into fibers is highly energy & water intensive and the yield is very low, lots of waste. nice try. BTW, those look like vulcanized soles, probably the worst environmental culprit in all of shoemaking. thanks chuck taylor & vans.
