The Problem

My communications class was given the task of doing 5 projects that would help others rather than ourselves. My partner and I came up with the idea of doing a documentary on recycled fashions. We plan to compare and contrast clothes that are home-made rather than mass produced, and hopefully make people more aware of problems like sweat shops and just how much they actually waste among other things. Although we are looking forward and encorage everyone to do something like this, sometimes it's hard to find people who are willing to participate. If anyone is aware of anyone who uses any used materials and changes them into clothes, jewlery, etc. in the Windsor/Detroit area please let me know. Even if you don't know anyone specifically, but know of an organization, your information would be greatly appricated. We do have acouple people already for the documentary but the more people/organizations we could meet with or promote, the better. We are trying to promote more than just fashion, but even a new lifestyle.
