Better than donations to charity, more value-add than quilting from
clothing scraps, launch your suit into orbit! This fabulous news from
spaceweather.com

SUITSAT:  On February 3rd, astronauts plan to hurl an old spacesuit
overboard from the International Space Station.  The disembodied suit,
nicknamed "SuitSat," will proceed to circle Earth, transmitting a
radio message which anyone can hear using a police scanner or a ham
radio tuned to 145.990 MHz FM.  This strange experiment is a test of a
sensible idea--that old spacesuits might be transformed into useful
satellites.
