If you have jeans that your children have outgrown, pairs that are too worn, ripped, stained or damaged to swap, consider having them recycled into green home insulation and help set a world record too.

National Geographic Kids is hoping to set a Guinness World Record of largest collection of clothes to recycle. So far, they claim to have collected over 16,000 pairs of jeans, which will be recycled through Cotton Inc.'s From Blue to Green initiative into home insulation. The insulation called Ultra Touch, is manufactured by Bonded Logic and contains 85% post-industrial recycled natural fibers. In addition, Ultra Touch appears to be safer to install and handle than traditional fiberglass home insulation.

To participate in the recycling record, just follow these rules to send in your denim:

1. Select as many denim jeans or denim clothing as you like. (Any denim clothing is OK.)

2. The denim must be used.

3. The denim can be any brand.

4. The denim can be any color or size but must have been worn by a human (no doll clothes!).

5. Please print out this form and include it with each package!

6. Send as many jeans or denim items as you wish to:
