The City of Largo hosted it’s 3rd annual Trashy Fashion Show to celebrate Earth Day. Roberta was one of the judges, rating each entry on it’s environmental impact and message. Some of these designs were definitely Project Runway material and all were creative and educational! Roberta got to talk some trash as well, providing the audience with a short primer on how we waste. Kudos to all of the great models and designers – and to the City of Largo for drawing attention to this issue with such a fun and engaging event!

The Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona, FL is exhibiting a private collection entitled “Reflections: Paintings of Florida”, a look at old Florida through the eyes of different artists. For a special Earth Day tribute on April 25th, the Museum is airing the movie An Inconvenient Truth and has asked Roberta to give a climate update, specifically as it relates to Florida. Roberta has tied her talk not only to Florida climate issues, but to the art exhibit itself, illustrating how those locations look today and how sea level rise might impact those areas.
