Day 319: Old Jeans
In my perusing of other decluttering blogs, I came across an article where the author was collecting old jeans which can be made into insulation for Habitat for Humanity houses. If we can find a collection site for jeans that we think are too far gone for Salvation Army or Goodwill, it would be another avenue of our clutter doing good elsewhere.

Julie,
ReplyDeleteYour comment on Day 318 was a wonderful testimony of change! It's great having you back. :)
The site is www.declutteryou.com that talks about the jeans. It takes 500 pair to make enough insulation for one home according to the author. If you view his site, scroll down a couple articles where he talks about the denim.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened again. I was looking for something and realized it was probably in my mail basket. Instead of finding the one item, I took the time to completely go through the mail basket, threw out a pile of "stuff", shredded a few other things, sorted a few more items and found what I was looking for from the start. Yes! It is good to BE back!
One other comment on Goodwill. Goodwill will take those old ratty jeans, rags, etc. They recycle. They have told me that they take these things. Usually when I donate them, I tell the attendant because I feel guilty that someone has to go through a bag of rags to discover that they are, well...rags. (they actually do go through all the stuff donated.
