Rizco Design

These t-shirts from Beleaf are good-looking little reminders of things kids (and grownups) can do everyday. Like “I recycled a cardboard box and built a fort today” and “I walked to school to save gas today.” Sure to be the favorite: “I didn’t take a bath to save water today.”

According to the Council for Textile Recycling, more than 8.75 billion pounds of clothing ends up in landfills each year. That’s 10 pounds for every person in the U.S. Even though Americans are increasingly aware of how individual actions can impact our environment, only 15% of used clothes get recycled.

Clothing recycling is one of the most efficient recycling industries.
Nearly 100% of used textiles are recyclable!
• Almost 50% of textile waste is recovered as secondhand clothing.
• 20% of the material processed becomes wiping and polishing cloths.
• 26% is converted into fiber for products like mattresses and couches*.

CARECYCLE Inc., has “Give for the Greater Green” programs, which accept clean, gently worn clothing, shoes and sneakers to support sustainable living and benefit the environment. How does it work? CARECYCLE pays you to lease space for attractive, 6′ x 6′ x 6′ collection bins that are meticulously maintained weekly.
