Week 1 - Sustainability

Sustainability matters to me because heedless waste and careless consumption in the face of our planet is stupid, to put it bluntly. We're all aware of the increasing weather diversity, the population boom, and the continual divide between the haves and the have-nots; and yet we act like we can get around to fixing the world tomorrow, or maybe the day after, or the day after that.
Nothings' gonna change unless we change it. And that means small things, like being aware of what we consume.
'Waste not, want not' as it's said.

I want to work on the Tea Party(The Mad Hatter, the Mad March Hare, and the Dormouse.) and the Grimalkin (Cheshire Cat) costumes, to turn the traditional band of loons into something recognizably unique. I'd also like to work on Grimalkin to create a costume that accurately represents Grim's character, rather than a furry onesie or traditional fluffy Grimalkin costume.

My big project goal is to create designs with a focus towards the 3 Rs, and avoid buying anything new if at all possible.

I may need help with collaboration and people skills if I'm not the only one working on a costume piece.
