Trashion Call for Entries

The 2012 Trashion Refashion Show is looking for fashion designs from the two following categories:

• Trashion is the result of creatively turning discarded items into fashion.
• Refashion is the result of modifying existing clothing into something more fashionable.

Up to 3 entries, in any combination of categories, may be submitted per designer or team.  Submissions are due on March 1, 2012. The show itself will take place on April 22nd (Earth Day!) at 7:00pm in the Buskirk Chumley Theater.  All levels of design are welcome!  We look forward to making the 3rd annual Trashion Refashion Show our biggest success and to raise funds for the Center for Sustainable Living.

Submission guidelines and other information will be posted shortly on the Trashion website  www.bloomingtontrashion.org but feel free to start designing now!

We Have Moved!

The Center for Sustainable Living has moved!  While we are sad to see the Bloomington Ecocenter close, we are very happy to have a new cozy space right on the square, upstairs from the Caveat Emptor.  The physical address is 112 Walnut Street Suite 800 and it is a very cute office tucked between two massage therapists, just down the hall from the Indiana Forest Alliance.  At this time, we do not have regularly scheduled office hours but please feel free to call or e-mail to make an appointment.

Hope You Like the New Look!

In Memoriam

Betsy Caulfield born April 27, 1942, died December 20, 2010. Betsy was the secretary for the Center for Sustainable Living from 2004 until her death. She did many important tasks and did them well, including keeping board meeting minutes, writing thank you notes for donations, managing the food project and updating the member database. She also coordinated the Children’s Tent for the Simply Living Fair this past year. She was a very calm and caring presence and will be dearly missed by everyone here at the Center for Sustainable Living.
