Today is Halloween — one of the most exciting holidays of the year, but it often leads to a lot of waste—from plastic decorations to single-use costumes. This year, why not try a more sustainable approach? Here are three simple ways to celebrate Halloween in a fun and eco-friendly way that the planet will thank you for!
1. Host a Costume Swap Party 👻
Instead of buying new costumes that might only be worn once, host a costume swap with friends, family, or neighbors. It’s a great way to refresh your Halloween look without adding to waste. Plus, a costume swap party is the perfect excuse for an extra get-together before Halloween night! You can even make it a potluck to keep it budget-friendly and social.
2. Choose Eco-Friendly Treats 🍬
Candy wrappers often end up in the trash, but you can avoid the waste by opting for treats with recyclable packaging or fun, non-candy items like mini-puzzles, temporary tattoos, or Halloween-themed pencils. These options still bring the fun without contributing to plastic pollution, making it a thoughtful choice that parents and kids will appreciate.
3. Compost Your Pumpkins 🎃
When Halloween ends, give your pumpkins a second life by composting them instead of throwing them away. This is a great way to enrich your garden’s soil or help local wildlife, as many animals enjoy pumpkins as a snack. Look for a compost drop-off location nearby or see if local farms accept pumpkin donations.
