Trash for Teaching

Our first Good Works Space installation showcased Los Angeles based non-profit Trash for Teaching. T4T collects clean and safe cast-off materials from manufacturing processes (that would otherwise become trash) and repurposes them as educational resources. It found that standard water bottles fit neatly inside cardboard spools discarded from fabric knitting mills. Our installation raised awareness and funds for an organization that recently has been diversely affected by the shortage of LAUSD funding.

"What a thrill it was that first day when the light bulb went off! Darrylynn had wanted to help her friends Steve and Kathy Stanton with their non-profit Trash for Teaching (T4T) ever since she first heard about it. Then Steve came in with that wonderfully simple Bottle Vase as a means to bring T4T much needed exposure and even more needed revenues! Darrylynn decided that she would dedicate her front room to T4T and the Bottle Vase. Steve called his friend and T4T supporter, Shiva Mandell who quickly designed an attention getting display window and the rest is history! Darrylynn sold over 400 Bottle Vases and made legions of new friends for T4T."
