🌟 The America Recycles Clothing Drive is in Full Swing!!! ♻️
Colleen,
Our America Recycles Clothing Drive is off to an amazing start, thanks to your enthusiasm and support. Together, we’re turning closets into catalysts for change! 🌎
Here are some inspiring facts about recycling clothing:
♻️ Only 15% of clothing in the U.S. is recycled. Let’s raise that number and keep clothes out of landfills!
🌱 Recycling clothing cuts greenhouse gas emissions three times more than recycling glass.
💧 It takes 2,700 liters of water to make a single t-shirt. That’s enough for one person to drink for 900 days!
👗 Recycled textiles can have a second life—as new clothes, rags, or even raw fibers.
🚫 Unrecycled clothing ends up incinerated or in landfills, releasing harmful greenhouse gases.
Let's Keep the Momentum Going!
With two weeks left, there’s plenty of time to make an impact. Find your nearest Planet Aid bin or participating school and donate those gently used clothes.
Schools participating in the drive—your efforts are incredible! Keep up the great work. We'll be sharing some updates soon! 🏆
