Happy St. Patrick's Day! On this, the "greenest" of days, I thought I'd share a link to a great project being run by National Geographic Kids (TM). Right now, you can donate your old blue jeans and help set a Guinness World Record (TM)! I bet you've got old jeans stuffed somewhere in your closet, basement or dresser drawer that you haven't worn in ages. Now, you can box them up and get them turned into recycled denim insulation! It takes about 500 pairs of jeans to make enough insulation for a typical family home. This project is specifically geared to insulate homes that are built in places that have been hit by tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters.
Get your kids involved and instead of tossing your old jeans in the trash, donate them today and turn your Blue into Green!
