Halloween

As the evening approaches for pumpkins, ghosts, and vampires to be knocking on doors, consider some of these tips to help green your Halloween:

• Decorate with nature. Visit the local pumpkin patch for fresh gourds, grow mums, or use hay bales. They can all be used as a compost pile after the holiday.
• Reuse costumes or pull out materials from the closet or attic.
• Hand out organic chocolate treats or at the very least find candy that uses minimal packaging therefore reducing waste.
• You can be creative with the treats too – perhaps recycled material to make cards.
• Light the walkway to the front door with solar lighting. If the kids need a light in between houses, consider a shakable light.
