University of Massachusetts Dartmouth students held a “trashion show” —
that’s trash fashion — Thursday night to showcase original outfits made
of recycled materials like trash bags, soda cans and recycled paper.
The group that organized the event, the Massachusetts Public Interest
Research Group, or MASSPIRG, offered a petition for students to sign in
support of an expanded bottle recycling bill. The group also promoted
ways the state can improve recycling, as the UMass Dartmouth student
models walked the runway. All the outfits were designed by UMass
Dartmouth students.
