The sanitation district in muncie, ind.,is literally trading in the shirts off its workers' backs to go green. This spring, employees will be outfitted in clothing made from the very same recyclable bottles and cans they collect. Using a $5,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, the district will purchase 100-percent recycled jackets, T-shirts and polo shirts for its 140 employees, confirming the old fashion maxim that everything comes back in style, eventually.
