            Freegard and Robin Janson of Tuscon, Arizona have designed recycled 
            vinyl billboard bags that blend urban hip with social awareness. The 
            designers' philosophy embodies a vision of renewal through resource 
            reclamation. By refashioning giant images produced by our throw-away 
            culture into functional works of art, they’re making a strong 
            statement for a sustainable future. Vinyl 
              billboards are used nationwide as temporary banner advertisements 
              and usually end up in landfills as toxic pollution. To date, Freegard 
              and Janson have recycled over forty tons of billboard vinyl.  Available 
              at Gallery 50 located in historic Building 50, Traverse City -
