    ORLANDO, Fla. โ€“ While spending a few hours at Eagle Nest Park in Orlando, I observed a significant amount of litter scattered near the pond. Items such as plastic water bottle wraps, shopping bags, takeout containers, and cups were among the debris.

    Oddly, just steps away at a pavilion, there were two empty trash cans.

    Thereโ€™s a group working to bring the awareness of waste and sustainability by turning trash into wearable fashion.

    Italia Alicea spent months working on a unique dress using materials like grocery bags, plastic mailers, bubble wrap and packaging straps.

    A friend inspired her to take part in the Trash 2 Trends fashion show as a designer. Her goal is to motivate others to reuse objects that are typically regarded as waste.

    โ€œWhen working with children in occupational therapy, we create many crafts, which can be costly. So, we make use of available materials like cereal boxes and recycled paper. Nothing ever goes to waste,โ€ Italia explained.

    Sheโ€™ll be showing off her completed look at the 10th annual Trash 2 Trends fashion show at the Orlando Science Center on May 7. Keep Orlando Beautiful and Goodwill are teaming up to promote sustainability and raise money for community initiatives geared toward solutions to the growing waste problem.

    โ€œWhen I see all these single-use plastics at a park like this, it just reminds me of our addiction to single-use plastics as a culture… Itโ€™s everywhere and engrained in our culture. We need to change that,โ€ Executive Director of Keep Orlando Beautiful, Inc. Madison Szathmary said.

    Instead of just talking trash the organization is rolling out a unique way to bring awareness with more than 20 artists like Lindsay Agnew giving trash new life.

    โ€œMy outfit is called the Grocery Statement,โ€ Agnew said.

    Hundreds of shopping bags from different stores was repurposed for this outfit.

    โ€œThis is just one of the most single-use items that people are using that gets thrown in the trash that canโ€™t be 100 percent recycled,โ€ Agnew said.

    The runway opens Wednesday hoping to inspire guests to reduce, reuse and recycle

    โ€œItโ€™s just exciting to use things that had a purpose before and to give them new life,โ€ Italia said. โ€œIโ€™m excited to see what others have come up with.โ€

    Trash 2 Trends takes place Wednesday, May 7, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Orlando Science Center.

    Tickets for the โ€œTrash 2 Trends Fashion Show presented by Goodwill Industries of Central Floridaโ€ cost $48, which includes dinner and free parking at the Orlando Science Center garage. Click HERE to purchase tickets. Attendees must be at least 21 years old.
