Corporation has been working since the early 1990s
towards the adoption of sustainable business practices
that ensure quality
of life, restore the environment and increase value
to customers, shareholders and business partners. Nike's
Reuse-a-Shoe program
has drawn a lot of media attention and stands as an
excellent model for product recycling in the sports
industry. Used and
defective shoes (any brand is accepted, not just Nike's)
are collected, ground down, and reused as athletic
surfaces or new
shoes. Since 1993 Nike has given new life to more than
13 million pairs of worn-our shoes.

Special Prize for Environmental Education through
Sports:
The Sea Beautification Society |
 This
group has a long history of education and action to improve the
marine environment. A grassroots movement, the organization is
made up of divers and volunteers that devote their time to cleaning
up local ocean and shoreline areas. Alongside promoting environmental
protection, in particular for water bodies such as rivers, lakes
and oceans, they organize nationwide clean-ups to raise awareness
and tackle the burgeoning garbage problem. Their activities involve
working closely with other environmental groups, local councils
and park administrators on national garbage collection campaigns,
but their activities encompass all aspects of dealing with refuse,
right down to regular household waste disposal.
