GO GREEN FOR HALLOWEEN
Simple ways to make your Halloween a little less frightening for Mother Nature
Costumes
Make your own using items you already have, swap with neighbors and friends, or buy from second-hand stores.
Compost & Recycle
From party food to treats to pumpkins, consider composting all organic matter and recycling other items.
Pumpkins
Buy pumpkins and other natural decorative items from local farms or farmers' markets.
Trick-or-Treat Bags
Use household items to collect candy. A bucket, pillowcase, or even an old bag can be decorated inexpensively at home.
Treats
Buy locally produced foods, candies and treats. Look for goodies with minimal packaging or packaged in recycled materials.
Jack-o-lanterns
Don't throw away all the goodies from inside your pumpkin. Toast the seeds for tasty treats. Make pumpkin pie or muffins with the fruit - or compost it.
