PROJECT GREEN RUNWAY
PRESS RELEASE
PROJECT GREEN RUNWAY IN MARIN COUNTY
THIS TRASHION SHOW WILL HAVE HIGH FASHION ART CLOTHING FROM
PLASTIC DEBRIS----KEEPING IT FROM THE OCEAN
Plastic waste going into our oceans and sea-life ingesting and entangling in the
deadly soups called gyres is not a very glamorous subject but PROJECT GREEN
RUNWAY will be making it very glamorous on Saturday June 16 at Marin Recycling and
Sanitary Services at 535 Jacoby Street in San Rafael at 4:00. Over 30 models ages 12
to 24 will be strutting their outfits on the Catwalk .
PROJECT GREEN RUNWAY is the creation of Artist Elise Cheval and Ecologist and
Health Educator Christin Anderson. The two of them met about 4 months ago at
Oʼhanlon Center for the arts during a Plastic Fashion Exhibit created by Cheval. They
both agreed , the public needs to learn that we can all do better for our oceans. So letʼs
make it fun and put the message out there.
Now their message is- Pre-Cycling is the way to go, by being a little more mindful, by
passing bans on plastic bags and getting our manufacturers to take back what they
create. .They also agreed to launch PROJECT GREEN RUNWAY and get youth
involved. Their mission is Creative Self-Expression, Community Collaboration, and
Youth Leadership. Some of their Community Partners are Good Earth Natural Foods in
Fairfax, Rainbow Fabrics in Fairfax, Turtle Island Restoration Project in Forest Knolls,
the Main Street MOMS in Pt. Reyes , The Clean Oceans Project in Santa Cruz ( a
company that has pioneered technology that converts plastics in the ocean or on land
into high grade crude oil), and LEAF( Leadership Environmental Action Forum) from
Oakland.
The upcycle outfits have been created by Elise and Christin as well as many local
Plastics Design artists and students from the Bay Area. We ask that you carpool if
possible , parking is limited and seating is limited to 100 people. For questions call
415-488-4702. The event is FREE , get there early.
