So why don't we start with a little giving back to our environment? Now, I know many of you might be thinking that I'm some crazy environmental activisit, but I'm not. I try to give back here and there where and when I can, whether it's thrift shopping, renting my college textbooks, recycling or cultivating my own garden, but that's really it.
I started thinking about how much paper we as a community use when I was working on a Pepped suit. I know this isn't the main method of building. I'm upgrading to sculpting soon myself, but the Pepakura method has a rather large usage in our community. Paper is expensive, especially cardstock, (let alone fiberglass, bondo, LEDs, and strapping) and I'm sure you guys (like me) try to save space when Pepping by cramming as many pieces as you can on one page. As I noticed though, it doesn't always work. There is a massive amount of unused cardstock trash in my bag I use for excess.
What do you guys do with the excess? Shred it and spread in your gardens, make confetti, paper mache, line birdcages, what?
I just had a thought that as a community trying to save Earth from destruction, we might want to start a little closer to home, first. Maybe planting some trees. Recycling more. Something. There is definitely the famous picture of Adam on the toilet in his suit. Perhaps we should start having pictures of us planting trees. Just a thought, if anyone has any ideas or wishes to help.
