Who Wants To Be A Wrap Star

Our 2011 campaign is to REDUCE & REDESIGN PACKAGING. Isn't it true that plastic garbage annoys you. It's awful to open, fills up your bin, gets into our oceans and is digested by our sushi. This is ridiculous. Let's Revolutionize the Packaging Industry!

We hear from so many creative students, graduates and handy types. Many are looking for careers that they can be passionate about. All together you could so quickly and completely redesign much of the crazy packaging you come across.

We're seeking innovative, self-starters using free recycled materials overflowing at every dump in the country. Creativly coming up with smart designs and using toools or chemistry to construct wrapping that still protects when necessary without being wasteful. Check out our Wrap Star Program for more details.

Matter of Trust kicked off the Wrap Star Campaign with our School of Fish Program. We partnered with schools and artists who created these giant fish made out of plastic trash and showcased these works at City Hall on Earth Day San Francisco 2011.

Check out our highlighted Artist bios. They generously helped with our School Of Fish Program and Wrap Star Campaign Kick-off! Join Us and Be A Wrap Star!

  • Wrap Star 2011 Campaign

    Let's revolutionize the packaging industry starting 2011 in the US! We can create jobs by reducing unnecessary wrapping, promoting smart design and eco-materials!

  • Used Eye Glasses collection: The Looking Glass Program

    We are collecting used eyeglasses which we will personally distribute in small villages in Peru, October 2011. Partners: Rosa Ten, MD. We have collected over 1,000 pairs of glasses. We now need volunteer optomitrists to help go through them to determine the perscription for those that have not been marked.

  • Clean Wave of the Future Program - Pre-made Science Project Lesson Plans For Teachers and Students

    We think it is silly that oil companies drill oil to make oil based synthetic products that clean up oil spills. Especially when oil spills can be soaked up by free, renewable waste fibers like hair, fur, feathers and fleece. So, we're helping to promote fiber recycling and oil spill clean up through schools, after school programs, camps, scouts. They are often looking for science lab / shop class projects. We have gotten so many inquiries from kids on how to make a hair boom and do a demo oil spill clean up that we thought it would be useful to write up lesson plans and provide "How To" videos. We connect schools to hair and fur clipping donors for those supplies. This is our new and improved Hair Boom Program. Also, see our Blog & Photos about last year during the BP spill when hundreds of thousands of salons, groomers and individuals donated hair, feathers, fur & fleece clippings.
