Check Out The Purely Decadent Dress!
One of my extremely inventive and eco-conscious friends created a Purely Decadent Dress for Halloween. (Personally, I think it is so glamorous, it could be worn anytime!) Here's what she told us about how she came up with the idea:
"I ate a lot of the ice cream this summer; this was not hard to do, since my favorite ice cream, Purely Decadent, is delicious, vegan, and comes in many flavors such as Cookie Avalanche, Cherry Nirvana, Turtle Trails, Chocolate Obsession, Coconut Craze, Peanut Butter Zigzag, Chunky Mint Madness, and Cookie Dough. And the company, Turtle Mountain, supports sustainable agriculture and turtle habitat restoration!
Instead of throwing out the containers, I decided to make a dress out of them to wear while teaching my ethics class on Halloween (we’ve been talking about consumerism and environmental degradation). Plus, I wanted to make a cool-looking dress and suggest to the university to have a contest for costumes made out of recycled materials next year. After showing some people the pictures of my dress, there is already some interest in this idea!"
What an imaginative, fun, and delicious way to teach students about recycling! Here are the specs for the Purely Decadent Dress:
Size: Approx. 24†W x 17†H
Weight: Approx. 2 pounds
Materials Used: Approximately 96% recycled materials. Everything from 17 Purely Decadent ice cream boxes (12 different flavors), including the lids was used.
Skirt: 17 ice cream containers, and a small amount of tape, staples, and tiny bits of Velcro.
T-shirt: The round part of the lids from the ice cream containers sewn on a second-hand t-shirt.
Earrings and Bracelet: The edges of the lids of the ice cream containers plus a couple of staples and 2 second-hand clip-on earrings.
