Easy Eco-Halloween
Decorations
Consider using biodegradable bamboo dishes, biodegradable plastic dishes or your regular everyday dishes and then wash them with eco –friendly soap. Use recycled napkins or cloth napkins. Light up eco-friendly candles.
Pull out stored away decorations and mix them up with new ones you received through freecycling or the store. If you must buy decorations buy decorations made of recycled material. Reuse your decorations next year. Also try to use some of these decorations for other holidays through the year.
Litter
Remind your kids not to litter. Wrappers littering the streets are not only a sore sight and illegal, but are also not eco-friendly. Besides, as a precaution, your kids should wait to eat their candy only after you’ve checked it. There are some crazy people out there that like to hurt people. Take an extra bag, just in case you find wrappers already littering the streets.
Porch Light
Try a solar powered light this year to light up your porch. Or make sure to switch your porch light bulb to a CFL bulb, if you haven’t already done so.
Battery Operated
If you are using a Halloween decoration that needs batteries, like a moving hand in a candy bowl, use rechargeable batteries to keep it going.
Halloween Party Invitations
If you are having a party send out E-vites. If e-vites is too impersonal for you invitations made of recycled paper will work too.
There are plenty more ways to be have a green Halloween. What Halloween eco-tips do you have? Share them with us.
