Jeans Total Tops 20,000!

Posted by NG Kids in Green Scene on June 15, 2009

With only two weeks left in our Guinness World Record attempt to collect the largest amount of clothing for recycling, we have amassed an amazing pile of denim. Our latest count is 20,443!

This is more than a new record attempt–it’s also part of the COTTON. FROM BLUE TO GREEN.®. project to recycle denim into insulation for homes damaged in storms.

Learn how you can donate your jeans!

    Look for over 200 pair of denim to add to the count. I am about to ship off nearly 300 pair contributed by students at Weddington High School in Weddington, NC. I am a science teacher at the school and this was part of our Earth Day activities!!

    I loved this project! I was able to collect and ship 1700 pieces with a school drive and a community drive. I wanted to keep as many as I could out of the landfill. They should have arrived last Friday! Will this be an annual event?
