It was 6:04 and I usually don’t take calls after 6:00 at the showroom but what the heck, I picked up. Glad I did because it was Judi Shils, head of a non-profit organization Teens Turning Green, looking for donations to their upcoming Project Green Dorm Room.
The organization is managed and run by teens with a passion for change, determined to examine the toxic exposure in their lives, and to live in a cleaner, more eco-friendly environment.
Check out their website, it’s pretty impressive: www.teensturninggreen.org
Project Green Dorm Room will focus on the need to create a clean, green, healthier living/sleeping environment when they're off to school. We donated organic bedding and sleepwear, organic towels and robes. We also requested donations from our vendors.
The calls were easy to make. Julia Rosien at Naturaworld immediately saw the value of reaching out to “green teens” and donated a Natura Eco Rest organic mattress, Comfort Plus organic wool mattress topper, and organic wool comforter. Likewise, Austin Air is donating their HEPA/HEGA air purifiers. Rainshow’r Manufacturing happily kicked in a dechlorinating shower filter and water saving shower head.
Stay tuned for details.
