Trash Mash-Up is a community art project. Using disposable materials, collected before they enter the waste stream, participants construct "Maskostumes" which are original pageant masks and costumes inspired by traditions from around the world. TMU reduces waste and inspires people to see each other and our environment in a new way. Check out www.trashmashup.org
