Being from the production side of fashion myself...this is just about the only way to make any kind of positive impact on carbon...planting trees and doing other similar things w the profits your company makes. Nearly every type of fiber and textile is terrible for the environment, unless you want to be paying scads of money for hand spun and woven fabrics made by indigenous peoples(indian khadi might be the best option costwise).

Good on you for trying to do something other than profit.

I worked a job at a costume shop about 25 years ago in my early teens. They made me wear a different costume every day and hold signs on the road out front. My fav was the 10 foot tall grim reaper one...and im 6'5 already so i was HUGE in it.

Got to write my own signs, and had a bit of cheeky fun w them.

Also met my first gf as i was dressed like cookie monster, dated for like 3 years.

Theres power in those costumes.

"serious recent history"

You misspelled "ongoing"

You aren't delivering pizzas, you are knocking on the doors of people who are purposefully not filling out those census forms. Some of them are scared, some of them are.crazy, some are dangerous..we are talking gun toting tin foil hat motherfuckers. Be careful.

Source: did 2000 census canvasing in a rural college town. Had weapons pulled on me several times by people who thought the census was some nefarious govt tracking plot. These days you will also have scared illegal aliens in some of those houses. Just be careful...and don't wax legal with these guys about how they have to answer the questions, it ain't worth it.

Edit...mostly posting this for other potential canvassers since there will be many who might read this, especially in lower income or rural areas.

"migrant workers"

You misspelled slaves
