Two weeks into the new year and a first deadline has popped up. Mid March! Mid March!
I am delighted to have motivation to produce a short video, which will be a first. Long ago I had considered a You Tube channel and made 2 videos. In hindsight, they now look disastrous.
So, with Earth Day approaching in April, the organization EarthDay.org has called for submissions of a 1 to 2-minute video that shows your sustainable fashions. Maybe I will model or maybe I will enlist the help of a young person. Either way it will be a good way for me to learn.
Last year’s Earth Day was dedicated to a collaboration with 2 other “upcyclers” in Nicaragua. DePapel uses newspapers and magazines to make usable products like purses, jewelry and baskets. SASTRA uses publicity vinyl to make usable products like appliance covers, baskets and fanny packs. It was a fun afternoon of photo shooting in a local park to show the products and subsequently promote upcycling.
