A Cool Way to Recycle Your Old Denim
It is encouraging to find sites that focus on recycling, please consider recycling your old jeans and not adding to the landfill. Together we can make a difference!
Change the World One Pair of Jeans at a Time.
Looking for a cool and environmentally friendly way to recycle your old, worn out, ratty pairs of jeans? Well look no further! I came across an article in The Witchita Eagle today announcing a city wide drive that will collect any used denim items. These items will them be converted into home insulation that will be used for Habitat for Humanity in association with the Cotton. From Blue to Green.™ denim drive.
In 2006, the Cotton, From Blue to Green.™ denim drive traveled to 14 colleges throughout the nation and collected an astounding 14,566 pieces of denim, doubling the original goal. The donated denim was converted to UltraTouch™ natural cotton fiber insulation and helped in the building of 12 houses for hurricane-affected families in Baton Rouge, LA.
Cotton. From Blue to Green.™ hopes to build off of its first year’s success by visiting five college campuses during 2007. Visit Access Cotton to learn more about making donations in your area.
