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. Trade with other families.
• 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 not sugar
• Donate extra candy, food to local shelters
