Earth Week 2012: Trashy Fashion

Whew, what a crazy Earth Week it was! The TfP team kept busy with bin-building events throughout the week, always keeping Laura's trunk full of recycled cabinets, nails, bike tire tubing, drill bits and of course loads of empty plastic bottles. We constructed bins with students and the Sustainability Leadership board members on PSU campus on Wed. and Fri. afternoons in between classes. TfP members also braved the wet, chilly weather Saturday morning at PCC for yet another bin build. Look for our photos on facebook!

But we must highlight another event at PSU's campus on Friday afternoon, the Trashion Show, where students designed, created and sewed fabulous dresses from trash! Here is the lovely Laura modeling a strappy, summer dress made completely of Chinook book coupons. Just in time for the sunshine!


Now, who doesn't think upcycling is sexy?!
