Teenage climate activists in Nigeria’s largest city are recycling trash into runway outfits for a “Trashion Show.”
Chinedu Mogbo, founder of Greenfingers Wildlife Initiative, a conservation group working with the activists, said the show was designed to raise awareness about environmental pollution. More
Rubber Tire sandals were a thing back in the 60s in some places. Is that a thing again?
Good on ’em… not very practical but lively!

I’ve seen that same trash on just about any Hollywood awards show.
Mooshelle and Jill tried to make it fashionable. I would say these Nigerians did a better job. That’s not saying much.
Histories Feats,
I actually had a pair of those back in the 80’s similar to these.

Give those outfits to the Homeless in all the Prog Cities. They can attach them together and make themselves upscale colorful Sidewalk Tent Cities.
One of the Field Service guys at work once told me that the second you step off the plane in Nigeria the smell hits you. Hard.
Wild Bill,
I’d like to compare that Nigerian smell to the ones that his my nostrils as soon as I stopped off the plane in Seoul Korea (1985). Talk about curling your nose hairs to a crisp. The smell of fecal (human AND animal) fertilizer in the streets and fertilizing the rice paddies is not to be described.
Trash is for building boats.
I thought all the Nigerians had snuck into this county! Those now living in Nigeria must be Somalian’s that couldn’t tell how to read a compass and made a wrong turn on their way here and ended up there instead and can’t afford to leave!
I had a pair of those tire sandals I bought in Mexico cheap. You could not wear them out but I lost one in the river.
Fashionable trash.

Didn’t they do that in Zoolander?
