Teva Launches “Pair for a Foot”

On World Water Day this year, Teva launched “Pair for a Foot”, which will protect one linear foot of global waterways for every pair of Teva shoes and sandals sold in 2011. This long-term initiative will help protect over four million feet of global and Canadian waterways.

Teva’s campaign will support their ongoing partnership with Waterkeeper Alliance to create safe, clean watersheds. With Teva’s support, several major water-preservation projects will be kicking off in the summer of 2011, including Lake Ontario’s first beach preservation tour, Fraser Riverkeeper’s anti-polluter patrols of the Fraser River in British Columbia, and water quality sampling in the Ottawa River.

Sponsors and Friends

We wish to thank the following organizations and businesses for their services and tools:

IM Rivers: IM Rivers granted us a free license for 2010 for the use of their interactive map tools. This yearly license allowed us to provide our website visitors with an educational map tool for finding points of interest along the Fraser and in BC.  Thank you, IM!

Earthpoint: Earthpoint gave us a free one-year subscription to utilize their tools, and we have found their xls to kml conversion tool and map icons very handy for creating our own Google Earth based map of data points. Thank you so much!

Chilliwack Valley Voice: Craig Hill has been a very supportive editor and journalist in covering our events and news to the Chilliwack community, which sits on the banks of the Fraser River. We want to thank Craig for his support and for getting the word out about our Earth Day cleanups–four years of cleaning up the Pegleg Gravel Bar.
