My name is Kayla Bonczek, and I am a senior at North Haven High School. This
school year, I decided to do an environmental science independent study after
taking AP environmental science last year and loving it. For my final project, I
put together a completely eco-friendly fashion show titled "Green Awakening"
featuring 30 outfits made from clothing such as bamboo, organic cotton, and
recycled material, and accessories made from plastic bags, aluminum cans, and
sea glass.

Everything featured in the show was donated by over 25 designers from
all over the country, as well as a few from Finland and Canada. Afterwards, the
clothing and accessories were auctioned off at a silent auction. The show was
held on Earth Day, and was the first fashion show our high school has ever had.
