Do you feel passionately about recycling?

Did you know that the average person in the United States throws away 10 lbs of clothing (textiles) each year, all of which can be recycled! The Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART) advocates for the recycling of these materials. 

We are looking for students who feel strongly about making textile recycling a huge priority and are willing to share their story on camera; we want to know how you practice textile recycling in your home, within your community, at work or at school.

Email akaji1@umbc.edu for more information. Please let us know about what you do to reduce textile waste so we can include you and/or your organization in our exclusive video production!
