Easy Peasy Tip: Recycle Your Jeans!
By tinychoices | February 7, 2009
Sometimes we just fall out of love with our bluejeans. It happens! If you don’t wear them anymore but they still have life left, donate them to a thrift store or bring them to a clothing swap/Naked Lady Party.
But if those jeans are totally kicked (ie holes in places where the sun don’t shine) then consider sending them on for a second life as eco-insulation: Green Jeans Insulation turns old jeans into itch-free, formaldehyde-free, fiberglass-free, home insulation.

You can also hold a “old jeans drive” at your school, workplace or community center, and send a big box at once!
