\"recycled<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you a creative and resourceful person who turns other people\u2019s \u201ctrash\u201d into like-new treasures<\/a>? Or maybe you are the person all of your friends calls for help to revamp their home furnishing hand-me-downs into focal points of their rooms? If so, Fashion for Home<\/a>, one of the United Kingdom\u2019s leading designer furniture retailers, wants to showcase your talents!<\/p>\n

For every picture and furniture recycling story submitted to recycling@fashionforhome.co.uk<\/a> by September 4, the company will donate 1 pound (roughly $1.50) to the Red Endangered Animal Connection Trust (REACT)<\/a> charity as part of the \u201cRecycle to Reforestation\u201d campaign. All of the proceeds will help to restore the natural habitats of \u201cthreatened\u201d and endangered animals destroyed by deforestation.<\/p>\n

Your entries then will be compiled into a \u201cGuide to Recycling\u201d<\/a> and featured online for fellow recyclers to swap ideas, tips and tricks. Remember all furniture, like tables, chairs, cabinets, even antiques, count.<\/p>\n

The Link between Recycling and Reforestation<\/h3>\n

Based on the findings of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)<\/a>, REACT has chosen to concentrate all of its efforts to helping the Bornean orangutan,<\/b> the Malayan sun bear and the Asian pygmy elephant <\/b>this year. These animals are considered \u201cumbrella species\u201d, which means as they are protected, thousands of other animals sharing their habitats also will be protected.<\/p>\n

\"orangutan<\/a><\/p>\n

Aligned with REACT\u2019s core belief that one person can make a difference, we all can commit to reducing our contribution to landfills and in turn lessen the estimated 3 to 6 billion trees that are cut each year and stop the destruction to the world\u2019s rainforests<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fashion for Home is on mission to spread the word about the benefits of recycling and give vulnerable wildlife a place to call home<\/a>. Be a part of this great initiative today and share this post with everyone you know!<\/p>\n
