The frock fixers at Aloha Dry Cleaners, established in 1964, cleanse garments onsite using environmentally friendly dry-cleaning processes. They also perfect alterations for all garments ranging from draperies and upholstery to dresses and suits. The 13 trained staff members help to preserve wedding gowns and keep everyday wear stain-free. As a courtesy to their customers and community, they clean any American flag or stuffed animal for free, so long as teddy bears are registered to vote.

Save Million Trees Organization works to reduce waste and protect the environment by helping Americans stop junk mail, and by promoting recycling programs in elementary schools and preschools. Along with donating small, desk-side recycling bins—color-coded to make it easier for young students to recycle—the organization hosts recycling workshops at its partner schools.

The fastidious crew at Tropical Cleaners, a commercial endeavor dating back to 1995, offers same-day service for most garments, cleaning everything from men’s slacks to women’s dresses with thorough speed. Particular care is taken with dress shirts, which are prespotted, checked for any damaged buttons, and treated with special additives to remove body oils. The cleaners also keep home furnishings spiffy by performing rug and comforter cleaning. Alternatively, by cleaning leather, staffers ensure that audiences don’t get distracted by mustardy dots during Fonzie impressions. The staff also helps nuptial memories last longer than nuptial cake by cleaning, preserving, and boxing wedding dresses, which Tropical Cleaners double boxes to ensure that moisture cannot damage the precious fabric. Unlike those who sell dirt to pro baseball teams, Tropical Cleaners is a member of the National Cleaners Association.

Save the Chimps was originally founded by Carole Noon in response to an announcement from the US Air Force that it would no longer be conducting research on chimpanzees. The chimps were subsequently donated to a biomedical laboratory. Save the Chimps sued the Air Force on behalf of the chimps, and after a year of legal battles, gained custody of 21 chimps descended from forebears who had participated in the NASA space research program. Save the Chimps then purchased a 150-acre sanctuary where it built a 3-acre island with hills, shelter, and climbing structures for the chimps.

Today, Save the Chimps maintains a permanent sanctuary for the care of approximately 300 chimpanzees rescued from research laboratories, the entertainment industry, and households where they were kept as pets. The chimps live on a series of 12 interconnecting islands where they can roam freely. Caregivers come in to feed them, engage them in play without physical contact, and clean their living spaces. Because it does not endorse captive breeding, Save the Chimps performs vasectomies and employs female birth control with its animals. It also limits access to the chimps, only allowing visits from the board of directors, people who are working with the chimps, and specially invited members of the public.
