GARMENT SPONSORS
“Being a part of Recycle Runway is a great way to recognize the efforts of our associates who have worked hard to get us to a 90% recycling rate. Sponsoring
a garment allows us to support the arts and environmental education. The sponsorship also allows us to demonstrate that our environmental efforts extend
beyond our vehicles, and touch all aspects of our business.”
Ryan McMullan,
Environmental Coordination Office,
Toyota Motor Sales
“Nancy contacted the local Target store to make the Target recycling dress, and the store team really got into it by coming up with lots of materials we were recycling and even some that we weren’t. That made the team think more about what they were throwing away. It was a great project and the impact of the dress is excellent.”
Jim Bosch, Target
Public Art Exhibition through New Mexico Arts
It’s fun to see such innovation - in artistic expression and message - amidst the trappings of State bureaucracy. Everyone who sees it is intrigued. The Jellyfish Dress also honors women in interesting ways, which pop out in a public art piece. I like the subversive ways it turns people on to creativity. Bravo!
