Thanks for the great info on how to recycle denim..I've never known what to do with my old jeans! I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine). Hey! Thanks for the great info on how to recycle denim..I’ve never known what to do with my old jeans!

My dad was a troop leader, too. He did all this amazing stuff with his troops and when I got old enough and joined the girls scouts, I was so disappointed by how wussy they were. I didn't have a long scouting career. Thanks for the idea. My dad was a troop leader, too.

His crew did a lot of camping (and fire starting) they created matchless fire starting kits. They would use scraps of denim as the item that would first ignite in the fire starter. Check with your local troop to see if they are in need. I don't know about local troops, but my dad's group used this not only as an opportunity to be pyros, but also to understand that things can have life after it could no longer fulfill it's first intended use. This probably can't use up too much denim, but if you just have one or two old pair, it's an option. When I was a child, my dad was a boy scout leader.
