Having an Eco Friendly Green Halloween is more and more desirable these days. How can you green your  Halloween?

  • Buy your pumpkins, squash, and other vegetables from a local farmers market or from local sources
  • Rent or buy your costume from used clothing stores like Goodwill. Reusing items that you already have is even better. Consider donating or giving away your costumes after Halloween.
  • Utilize reusable bags to hold treats
  • Trick-or-treat in your own neighborhood or carpool to your destination
  • Compost the pumpkin, squash, leftovers, etc.
  • Give out green oriented treats like organic fruit, repurposed trinkets
  • Donate extra candy, food to local shelters

With a little preparation we all can make a difference, even on Halloween.
