A Sustainable travel & lifestyle show focused on global designers who "refit", inspiring creative thought on the care of our planet.
"...THE LOVE CHILD of Martha Stewart, MacGyver, Al Gore & Keith Richards. It's a spot-on (if highly implausible) characterization: Trice is artistic, handy, an avid recycler and a shaggy-haired fan of chunky jewelry. —Carlin Flora, PSYCHOLOGY TODAY MAGAZINE
This is a sustainable travel and lifestyle show with a focus on designers who sort through the detrius of contemporary life and "refit", post foundry or factory, to inspire every viewer on the ways many are beginning to treat the care of our only livable planet as a priority.

TIME magazine made me one of the top 100 green designers on the planet to watch in their last Design 100 listing. I'd like to make it easier for everyone to watch me and I'd love to teach anyone who wants to learn what refitting is and how to do it through this show.
The 2 success keys of this show are:
1. connections to "refitters" (designers who take existing objects and turn them into new products without having to return things to raw materials as in recycling) The process is so much more fun to watch happen and ANYONE and EVERYONE can learn how to do it on their own.
2. travel. The goal is to get the show signed so we go to a different city every season and refit in that location with the trash that is tossed there answering problems the citizens of that city face.
Think Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, but for the ECO/HG scene! lol
