This Halloween, you can have fun while making a positive impact on the environment. More families are looking for ways to celebrate sustainably, and small changes can make a big difference. From costumes to decorations, every choice matters when it comes to reducing waste and being kind to the planet.
Eco-Friendly Halloween Costumes
Consider reusing or upcycling old clothes to create unique costumes. Thrift stores are treasure troves for costume ideas, and swapping costumes with friends or neighbors is a fun way to keep things fresh without buying new. Avoid single-use plastic costumes and accessories, which often end up in landfills.
Green Decorations and Treats
Instead of buying new plastic decorations, try making your own using recycled materials. Pumpkins make classic, compostable decor. Be sure to compost your pumpkin after Halloween rather than throwing it in the trash. For treats, choose candies with recyclable or minimal packaging and consider handing out small toys or eco-friendly goodies.
With these simple steps, you can enjoy a spooky and sustainable Halloween that’s good for the planet and your community. Happy haunting!
