CREATING A GREENER SCHOOL

Dress Up Time Felties™ are a great source for smart school solutions as part of "green" school efforts. As a supporter of the Green Schools Initiative, Dress Up Time is committed to using EcoFi felt for our "let's pretend" playwear for the child care community. EcoFi is a soft, color-fast 100% polyester felt made in the USA from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

Let's leave our children and grandchildren a healthier world. Let's embrace the use of products in our schools that are made from recycled materials. Dress Up Time Felties™ help meet the goal of greener schools. Felties™ are clearly pro-environment in their raw material source.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PURCHASING

Does your school's purchasing goals include buying environmentally friendly products whenever possible? Does your school give preference to products offering recycled content? If so, Dress Up Time can help. Let us know if we can assist you with any mandated paperwork regarding Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP).

BENEFITS OF GREEN PURCHASING

• Taxpayers benefit by the immediate impact on the size of local landfills.


• Mother Earth benefits when schools participate in green purchasing.


• Students benefit by learning principles of environmentally responsible behavior. By using felt made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, Dress Up Time Felties™ offer schools another teachable moment. Our "let's pretend" playwear Felties™ are a fun way to add a discussion of recycling to early childhood classrooms.


• Citizens benefit because of job creation. From collection of recyclable materials to the manufacture of a finished product like Dress Up Time Felties™, more people are employed in this process than if the same materials were buried in a landfill.
