Ρεκόρ συλλογής αθλητικών παπουτσιών

«Thousands of shoes of all shapes and sizes, lined up alongside each other heel to toe, you could be forgiven for thinking this was some kind of modern art installation. In fact these startling images are from a new Guinness World Record set by National Geographic Kids magazine for the largest number of shoes collected for recycling in one place as part of their Run for the Planet campaign. Staff at the headquarters in Washington D.C emptied more than 50 gigantic boxes filled with unwanted trainers of all kinds sent by families and children from across America and set a new record of 16,407.

But celebrities also contributed to with some famous footwear coming from the likes of Taylor Swift, One Direction, Eli Manning, Danica Patrick, and Amanda Beard. The athletic shoes will be sent to the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program which recycles shoes into a material used in surfaces like basketball courts and running tracks. Last year, National Geographic Kids magazine set another Guinness World Record after 30,914 people helped take the title for most people running 100 metres in 24 hours.»

Σε απλά Ελληνικά, Αμερικάνοι έδωσαν αθλητικά παπούτσια (που δεν χρησιμοποιούν πια) και μπήκαν στο βιβλίο ρεκόρ Γκίνες καθώς συγκεντρώθηκαν 16.407 αθλητικά παπούτσια!!! Όλα αυτά θα σταλούν σε γνωστή εταιρεία αθλητικών ειδών, η οποία θα τα ανακυκλώσει και το υλικό που θα προκύψει από την ανακύκλωση θα χρησιμοποιηθεί για την γηπέδων στίβου και basket!!!
