Donate your BLUE JEANS!


Hello!

We've been studying up on different ways to help our community with effective green choices. Besides the conservation impact we automatically make with living with a green conscience. It's often nice to see an immediate, physical impact. So this month, or at least the rest of it, we challenge you to simply click on the link below and think about how you can take action.

YOU, your family, you child's school (pubic or private), church, synagogue, mosque, or even just your local community center can create a group and donate...yes YOUR JEANS! We ALL have old jeans laying around and donating them is really the simplest task ever. When you donate your jeans to the organization below they recycle them into "UltraTouch" Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation and donate them to communities in need of new homes. Beautiful.

We have seen many families loose their homes these past few years. We can be an integral part in helping our community, still being Eco-friendly, and supporting a new beginning in people's lives. Please give it a click, it really is quite simple!
