29-Day Giving Challenge: Day 2 — A T-shirt for Barneys

Posted by Siel in challenges, environment, events, losangeles (Tuesday April 15, 2008 at 9:55 pm)

[Part of my challenge to give something away every day for 29 days]

Barneys New York had an eco-ish party today — and I donated an old T-shirt to the cause.

If you haven’t heard already, Barneys, eco-fashion company Loomstate, and the Sundance Channel got together to launch a T-shirt recycling program. The idea: Have people bring in old T-shirts, which’ll be recycled into Loomstate T-shirts for Barneys Green Holiday 2008 Collection.

So if you’ve got an old T-shirt, stop by your nearest Barneys to drop them off. You’ll then get a 20% discount on women’s Loomstate for Barneys Green and men’s Loomstate merchandise — until April 27.

Anyway — Tonight was the kick off party for this recycliing event in L.A. Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward performed beautifully –

I went with my friend Katie, who was shocked that M. Ward was indeed just life-sized — not uber tall and larger than life ….

The set was short and sweet.

Thanks for the ride home, Ferris :)

  2. Hi Siel,
    Can I still bring in t-shirts to recycle even after April 27th? Or was it just for that one event?
