TRASHformation is an art challenge open to Vancouver students from kindergarten to grade 12. It aims to raise awareness of current environmental issues like climate change and pollution of our waterways.
TRASHformation provides an opportunity for students to showcase their artistic talents and gives them a platform where they can express their views on the impact of waste on our city and planet.
The aim is to change the way participants think about waste generation by transforming trash into treasure.
