Green Up Your Workout Running shoes are designed to last for 300-400 miles of use. So what do you do with worn out running shoes? Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program was created to solve the problem. Old shoes of any brand are collected and recycled to be used to build new tracks, basketball and tennis courts. Shoes can be dropped off at Nike stores or mailed to the recycling center. Visit nikereuseashoe.com for details. For more information on how the Carol Stream Park District is taking action against climate change, go to csparks.org/environment
