Sarah, so glad you mentioned Abbott and Costello. "Who's on first?" I never tire of this shtick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg

"...we are the THEY" brings to mind Walt Kelly's iconic Pogo quote, "We have met the enemy and he is us." Not just iconic but ironic — Kelly created it for Earth Day 1971, fifty years ago this year: https://library.osu.edu/site/40stories/2020/01/05/we-have-met-the-enemy.

Howdy! I'm sorry to ask this here but it's top of mind. I own a company called Outcasting located in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

We work on all sorts of creative projects, one of which is to create inflatable decorations (think blow-up skeletons for Halloween, inflatable Santa Clause for Christmas) that celebrate underserved holidays like Thanksgiving, MLK Day, etc. - All tied to philanthropic organizations - same model as Patagonia, Tom's Shoes, Bombas Socks.

We don't want to use traditional plastic (PVC) or nylon given the global plastic problem - which most inflatables consist of. Do you have any insight as to where I can go to find a manufacturer or company where I that develops such alternatives to plastic? I'm trudging along online but thought I'd ask...thank you, sorry for the randomness of this! -Patrick
