Did you know that clothing industry has been labeled the second largest polluter in the world? The only industry that pollutes more is OIL! (http://www.alternet.org/environment/its-second-dirtiest-thing-world-and-youre-wearing-it) So what can we do about it? Wearing used clothing is one option. Not obsessively following fashion is another. Something else that we can do which is much more fun is… making Trashion! Trash+Fashion=Trashion. Students have begun to work on Trashion in their art classes in preparation for the first Futuro Verde Trashion Show!
Wondering what you can do to help our students with their fashion creations? We need all your cool, interesting, weird trash and any used clothing that you no longer want.
Visiting the beach? Bring along a plastic bag to fill with all the strange and amazing trash treasures that the ocean deposits on our shores.
Have a business which produces clean trash, like boxes, or bottles, or other packaging material? We can transform your packaging garbage into stylish wrappings!
Want to clean out all that old computer/technology junk lying around that you don’t know what to do with? Our students can turn that junk into fashion gold!
Futuro Verde’s Trashion Show will be held on the Day One of the 3rd Annual BHS Conference, on Thursday, June 29th, 2017. We will also host the Preview (dress rehearsal) on Thursday, June 22nd, before the mid-year vacation begins. We welcome one and all to cheer our students as they vogue down the runway in their finest Trashion!
