“Dear PoPville,
We in the neighborhood are incredibly excited about this prospect. The now vacant lot is owned and managed by the city. For years it has been a veritable trash heap. I had been working with the city for months to clean up the site. Realizing we needed to provide the city an alternative aside from simply asking them to clean it up, I started a petition for a dog park to be located here. (more…)

“About The Program
This summer, Parachute will launch in-store textile recycling for the very first time across its fleet of retail stores nationwide so that consumers can finally have an alternative to putting their beloved textiles in a dumpster. Parachute will accept sheets, towels, pillows, and robes in any condition, from any brand. As long as they’re freshly washed, they can be accepted with stains, breaks, or rips. With the help of partners at SuperCircle, Parachute will sort and recycle donated items for a second life – from new textiles to new projects, including furniture batting, insulation, and padding – sending nothing to landfill. In return, customers will receive a rare 15% discount code towards their next Parachute purchase.
Why We’re Doing This (more…)
