A great program that recently occurred on the UNL campus was the denim drive. A collection box was set up in the City Union for students to toss in their old jeans where they would in turn be recycled into material to insulate homes. The program was sponsored by the Public Relations Student Society of America at UNL and Cotton Incorporated, a research and marketing company.. It was part of a national campaign called "Cotton. From Blue to Green."
The response was overwhelming and the campaign received well over its goal of 500 pairs of jeans. I meant to donate some of my old, ripped ones but unfortunately the campaign was over before I got the chance.
