♻️🌲 Oh, go take a hike

Ahhhh... there's nothing quite like a nice walk through the great outdoors.
⬆️ Tired yet?... T.O. Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee recently unveiled its newest trail: a 2.5-mile-long path made up of thousands of old tires.
- Volunteers and local contractors had been collecting littered tires from around the state park since 2019.
- In total more than 24,000 tires were broken down into "crumbs," and transformed into a nice soft walking path.
♻️ Reduce, reuse: “This is a quintessential example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material then converting it into positive use,” said David Salyers, commissioner of Tennessee's Department of Environment and Conservation.
- The trail is one of the longest and only tire trails in the country, but the team at T.O. Fuller is hoping that other states follow in their tracks – tire tracks, to be specific.😉
