We are very proud to announce that in May we passed the One Million pounds collected mark.  No, the number isn’t as impressive as the amount of burgers served by McDonalds but we would venture to say that our environmental impact is more positive.  We really want to say thanks to everyone who has helped us along the way to reach this milestone.  We have gone from a social project to a business collecting as much as 90,000 lbs per month in over 100 residential buildings and 9 Greenmarket locations. We are nothing without the support of the people whom we service. You all deserve a round of applause! We are deeply indebted to you.

Thanks to the good peeps at eco-compassion www.greenfinds.com  If you havent been to this website yet, you must check it out. Ladies, the deals can’t be beat.

Wearable Collections wants to thank Stonehenge Management for featuring us in their Autumn 2008 mailer to their residents Going Green.  We are very appreciative that they were the first management company to give Wearable’s their stamp of approval. We are currently in 6 of the Stonehenge buildings and are planning an expansion in the new year to several other buildings.
