7-Trevor C.: "Lead into Gold"

Minimal Value: Green Tea

Substantial Value: Clothes!

"Is it possible to 'grow a frock from a vat of liquid' using cellulose-spinning bacteria? This is exactly what fashion designer Suzanna Lee asked before she began BioCouture, a research project based at Central Saint Martin's College in London. From a vat of sugary green tea, she grew a textile biomaterial, resulting in seamless clothing that has the look and feel of vegetable leather."
