ECONOTES : A Stitch in Time to Save the Planet
Kids are pulling together for a cleaner planet--with needles and thread.
Kids for a Clean Environment (a.k.a. Kids FACE) is sewing what they hope will be the world’s largest kid-made flag, reports 3-2-1-Contact magazine.
For two years, kids from all over the world have been sending decorated cotton squares for the flag. Each 12-inch square has an eco-friendly message, such as Please Recycle.
So far, Kids FACE has sewn together 3,000 squares. And they’re still sewing.
They hope to have the giant flag waving in front of the White House by April 21, 1995--the 25th anniversary of Earth Day.
