Using trash to paint on is kind of a fun idea for found object art, especially when it is nice and funky street art. Rik Catlow (top pic) has a bit of a how to for the smashed can paintings here. And I love the pink art on smashed spray paint cans by Buff Monster (bottom pic).

Also a fun idea for kids, it lets them think out of the box in regards to raw materials for their art. A kids page here.

Earthbound Farm agrees, so let's help them in their endeavor to raise $20,000 forone of our favorite organizations while promoting one of our favorite reads.

Loyale’s clothing line is proudly made in the USA, but the style influences for their Spring 2008 collection clearly have roots across the ocean: loyale cites rock and folk artists from the 60s as their latest inspiration. Though the line has always rocked, it improves and expands each season, but they still donate a percent of their profits to green corps and use organic cotton and bamboo jersey to make dresses, jackets, and tunics with a swinging sense of sustainability. In petal pinks, poppy blues, and an assortment of versatile neutrals, loyale’s collection ranges from groovy, flowy pieces like the Weston dress and standard staples such as the fitted, buttoned-down Cerro top to standout pieces like the Pasadena dress. On any given day at the office you will see one of the ecofabulous ladies sporting a loyale piece, because we are all loyal to style! Oh, check out loyale's chic dresses for budding eco-fashionistas.

Plastic trash from Suffolk beaches exhibited by artist Fran Crowe at A Fly in the Face. She vowed to save one square mile of ocean for a year by collecting 46000 pieces of litter walking on the beaches near her home. Every time she went out, she took carrier bags and picked up all the litter she could carry. Crowe raised nearly $2000 for the Marine Conservation Society through sponsorship and sale of her unique seaside ‘souvenirs’. She encourages people to join the Marine Conservation Society's Coastal Challenge or do a local river or beach clean-up, such as Beachwatch.

In one year Crowe walked over 200kms and carried away nearly a third of a ton of plastic trash.
