The Hidden Waste of Halloween
As we stroll through vibrant aisles adorned with plastic skeletons and cheerful pumpkins, it’s easy to get caught up in the holiday spirit. However, these decorations often serve as a reminder of their nonbiodegradable nature. Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste enter landfills after the festivities fade. This alarming trend calls for a deeper examination of our celebration choices.
Halloween often revolves around disposable items that end up contributing to our planet’s pollution. From single-use decorations to pre-packaged candies, the waste piles up quickly. As we indulge in sweets and spooky decor, we must consider the environmental impact each choice has. Embracing eco-friendly alternatives can transform our celebrations while reducing our carbon footprint.
