On April 24, students gathered at The Loft at UCSD for the "Green Scene," an event that showcased student sustainability achievements through film and fashion.

The night kicked off with the annual Vidfest, which featured student-produced public service announcements and short films on sustainability and the environment.

The night culminated with "Project Trashion," UCSD's first eco-friendly fashion show. The Loft was at capacity for the event, which featured more than 50 environmentally friendly designs from students, national brands and local boutiques.

Students modeled recycled clothes and clothing made out of newspapers, trash bags, stuffed animals, Coke cans and reusable Trader Joe's shopping totes.
