Commissioned by Target in 2002
The skirt, armbands and top
are made from a Target employee’s old shirt and are accented with plastic Target
bags. The jewelry is made from beads rolled out of cardboard product displays.
In addition to the bags, the headdress incorporates fruit made from cardboard
displays and a returned baseball game. The shoes were decorated with sequins.
This ensemble took 100 hours to create.

Businesses of all sizes can reduce greenhouse gas
emissions (GHG) and air pollution by implementing green programs such as:
· Recycling office paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and
aluminum.
· Purchasing supplies that contain recycled materials and are
non-toxic.
· Building new structures that adhere to green building
standards.
· Promoting carpooling and public transportation among
employees.
Industry plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change in the design and
manufacture of goods. Every stage of a product's life cycle-- extraction,
manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal-- indirectly or directly
contributes to the concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere and affects the
global climate.
