Ep 146: KEA's Junk2Funk

The Kootenai Environmental Alliance's longest-running annual fundraising event, Junk 2 Funk, is scheduled for October 12, 2024 in the ballroom at the Eagles in downtown Coeur d'Alene. Junk 2 Funk is a unique runway fashion show that features outfits made from at least 80% recycled items or garbage, presenting a "trashy" fashion concept. Local artists design their outfits and model them on a runway in this very fun and popular event. This year, Ali & Callie will showcase their own design on the runway. Cynthia Rozyla, president of the all-volunteer board of Kootenai Environmental Alliance (KEA) and one of its founding members, has a Master’s Degree in Public Administration and is passionate about the nonprofit sector and the environment. She talks about the KEA focus on five key pillars: Land, Water, Climate, Sustainability, and Education.
