With a childhood obesity epidemic, reports of lead in candy and costumes and millions of pumpkins that could have been used for food, it's about time someone took steps to "green Halloween".
Here are some useful tips you can use this Halloween to make your holiday a little greener:
- Use free-trade, organic chocolate and other low-sugar alternatives for treats.
- Recycle decorations and costumes or make both from other recycled items.
- Pick a pumpkin, plant a pumpkin.
- Compost jack-o-lanterns to make soil for other gardening projects.
- Buy pumpkins from local farmers.
- Trick or treat for a cause, such as UNICEF or Treat-for-Trees.
