Green Soul Shoes

We just got some photos from Cristian, a potential partner in Sao Paul, Brazil. He works as an environmental mentor for Sao Paulo’s City Hall where he trains adolescents in methods of sustainable living. Additionally, he has a partnership for tires with Interlagos, the Brazilian race track where Formula One takes place. Cristian is licensed by SUTACO – Superintendence of Craftsmanship for the Communities.

Lima runs at a slower pace than most large metropolitan cities I have been to; its rhythm is more traditional, and its people reflect a steadier, calmer constitution. It feels more like a cluster of smaller towns. The south side of the city is washed by the cold waters of the southern Pacific ocean and seems pleasantly removed from the pace of time.

Cusco, the former capital city of the Inca Empire, has a similar feel though it definitely carters to tourism far better than Lima. There are now scores of beautiful Catholic Churches and modern conveniences, such as a McDonalds smack in the middle of the Plaza de Armas (the central town square).
