All week long we will be taking paperless electronic pledges for making a positive impact and change on this earth we call our home. In addition, we will be hosting a clothing exchange. Here's how it works:  you bring in clothes and get tickets for each article of clothing you bring in. On the final day of the clothing exchange, you use your tickets to get "new" clothes. The clothing that is left over will be donated. This is our way of recycling clothing.
