The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
I need to admit that this is the only costume on this list that I’ve seen beta-tested in real life, and I’m happy to report that it works well. Pictured above is a friend of mine in Halloween of 2019, who found an ocean-colored gown at a thrift store and covered it in trash to represent the exponentially-increasing chunk of ocean garbage that was, as of 2018, roughly twice the size of Texas. You don’t, of course, need the shimmering prom dress, as long as you’ve got a bunch of plastic to work with and something to attach it to — go nuts!
