Okay, it’s just a few more days before the halloween activities begin. I bet you and your family are already excited with the planning and preparations for halloween parties, trick or treat costumes and what not.
I’ve searched the web and compile a list of things and ideas to make this a “green” Halloween.
So here it is, the 16 Green Halloween Tips
1. Email party invites instead of using paper or cardboard greeting cards. (save the trees)
2. Make use of all pumpkin parts.
(I remember seeing pumpkin soup sometime before in the food channel. )
3. Use reusable plates, cups, utensils.
4. Rent a costume instead of buying
5. Use reusable bags for trick or treat
6. Make your own costume.
Check out these last minute costumes for kids
7. Give ecofriendly organic treats (ie organic candies, or things that have little or no packaging)
8. Roast pumpkin seeds.
9. Make a Tissue ghost
10. Stuff an old jeans and shirt with plastic bags and turn it into a scarecrow.
11. Replace lightbulbs with low wattage red bulbs
12. Turn your yard into a cemetery. Use cardboard box and black paint.
