But the sustainability push goes beyond the Tokyo Olympics........
In tandem with the Olympics, Nike is launching a “Move to Zero” collection for consumers, where all of the items use almost entirely recycled content, such as recycled polyester, or organic cotton that uses less water and fewer chemicals to manufacture.

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
