More Denim!

Our Guinness World Record attempt to collect the most clothing for recycling continues. Now that we received Ben Stiller's jeans and jeans from kids all over the U.S., we have a mountain-size pile of jeans accumulating here at National Geographic. Our latest count is....14,634!

You can still participate! We have one month left to collect denim that will be recycled into insulation through the COTTON. FROM BLUE TO GREEN.® program.

Get all the details on how you can participate and see a video of the recycling program.

AMES Elementary in Centennial Colorado has collected 502 items. We ship out 13 boxes next week. It became a great project to end the school year and say goodbye as our school closes. We came together to reach a goal of at least 500 to help a home be built as our "educational home" closes.
Thank you for this opportunity!
