I respect what Timberland is doing, "diffently a step forward" for another industry.
Although not usually my style, I'm going out of my way to put Timberland on my list for the next pair of boots i buy, even if the impact may not turn out to be what we would hope, supporting the thought and ideas behind this movement is important.
I'm with you, Steve -- even if they've got a lot of work to do in order to green their products, the fact that they're making such information public is very important.
I like this idea a lot. It would be great if all shoe companies adopted it so you could compare between them. But I think it is great that Timberland is leading the way.
The one other thing I would like to see on the label is the amount of land that was required to grow the feed for the cow that contributed the leather (at least I am assuming the leather came from a cow).
I love the idea. It's a great way for buyers to make informed choices. People shouldn't just know what's in the food they buy, but also in all kinds of products. Hopefully, other companies will pick up on this concept.
and how about how long the product is supposed to last before it gets thrown into the landfill, and what happens once it gets there.
