My dear friend started a fabulous business recycling ties and employing refugees to make cool totes and pillows. I think this is a wonderful company! Check it out:
Ties That Mater is an Atlanta based company that uses recycled neckties to make tote, travel and computer bags. They train refugee and near homeless women to do the sewing, thus creating jobs for people in need. In addition, they donate proceeds to support services for the homeless.
Finding people to donate neckties is critical to making this work. If you know companies that are willing to sponsor a "Toss Your Tie" campaign, please reach out to Laura.
Ties That Matter will provide posters and flyers and collection bins and will pick up the collected ties. In addition, they will come to any group and talk about what we do and our passion for combining our environmental and social causes.
If you want to take part, contact Laura.
