Clothing chain, Aeropostale engages teens to help clothe the homeless and inadvertently promotes waste reduction with the 5th Annual Teens for Jeans clothing drive campaign. Groups or individuals can donate slightly worn, usable jeans to Aeropostale stores now through February 12th. Jeans will in turn be donated to homeless youths in need of clothing. Additional information on how to participate can be found by following this link www.dosomething.org/teensforjeans/take-action.
The teens for jeans campaign allows us to help those in need while helping our planet at the same time. Remember...reduce, reuse then recycle.
AND... if those teens are eligible for scholarship money as well! :)

This is pretty nice ... and I like the idea that it gets kids thinking about others and the environmental waste of tossing perfectly wearable clothes. Hopefully it will encourage them to be compassionate to other and to be environmental stewards. Thanks for sharing ... and for linking up at the Meet & Greet! :-)
