Just a little "green" item to pass along

I ran across a great recycling effort going on involving old blue jeans! Bonded Logic is a business who makes insulation out of old denim. You can send your old, used jeans to:

Fair Indigo Denim Drive
c/o Green Jeans Insulation Inc.
1109 W. Milwaukee Street
Stoughton, WI 53589

What a great way to help our planet! So, if you get new jeans for Christmas, pack up those old ones and send them to Wisconsin to be used in insulation!
