To borrow a phrase, one person’s trash is another person’s … fashion. Children and adults participated in the “Trash Fashion Show” yesterday as part of the Earth Day 2008 events at Goodale Park.
The Fuse Factory, a Columbus organization that seeks to combine art, science and technology, collected the discarded trash and a few art supplies that participants used to create and model the “fashion.”
Founder Alison Colman said the idea was to combine hands-on creativity with a recycling theme, in keeping with Earth Day activities yesterday and last week organized by Green Columbus and a coalition of area environmental groups.
