Hand Me Around

It may be a status symbol to wear the latest styles, but every think about wearing the best? If it works, why fix it?

There’s a new movement now among the avant-garde to mix-match old clothing. It gives a retro funky look and now represents caring about your world.

I’m not telling you to look like a derelict. But think twice before you throw it out. And if you wont wear it again, there are plenty of places that will take it and give it a chance to be someone else’s new look.

Be creative, and it can become another way you can GreenYourselfDaily.

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.
