It’s as if Project Runway cut their budget and auf’d Heidi Klum: See the art of trash upcycled into eco-fashion by proletarian fashion designers at the third annual Trashy Fashion Show at the Largo Cultural Center in celebration of Earth Day.

Brown-bag it today and instead of waiting in line at the drive-thru on your lunch breaks, you can spend the afternoon on the banks of the Hillsborough with Curator of Education Gianna Russo and Curator Susan Carter.

In Conservation Conversations, they give a brief history of Henry Plant and the Tamp Bay Hotel, providing a timeline of chief conservation movements from 1891-1931 and conversing the architectural features and building materials, which today would be considered “green,” followed by a tour of these features in the building.

Earth Day events are everywhere this week — even at your gracious indie bookstore. Ginny Stibolt, a naturalist with a master’s in botany, signs copies of her newest in tips and tricks for greener gardens, Sustainable Gardening for Florida.

After the break, we resume our frequently scheduled, non-Earth Day events coverage, including Co-Motion Dance Theatre, Bright and White at the Mindy Solomon Gallery.
