Eco Friendly Tights
The term Econ Friendly in relation to Tights, stockings and socks usually means the product are made from organic cotton and wool. However you can go a step further down the Eco route by giveing your old tights or stockings of all colours and sytle, to charity. You will be amazed at how useful your cast offs can be to someone else.

The Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia treats woman who have suffered a fistula injury due to complications in childbirth. This is a problem that we no longer have in the developed world.
You can help the wonderful work done by the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital by sending them your old, clean tights. Ladders and holes are not a problem.
Following their operations the women use the panty parts of the tights to hold their bandages in place. Nothing goes to waste as the legs are woven into rugs.
