An Eeeeeek-o-Friendly Halloween | Frogbox

BOO! Ok, we know, you are all grown up and those kinds of shenanigans no longer spook you. So what could poss – GLOBAL WARMING!! See, made you jump. In this Eeeeeeek-o-friendly Halloween special we are going to treat you to some Ahhhhhhhhsome tips to make this October 31^st scary green.

· The pumpkin

Look for locally grown organic pumpkins
Don’t waste the goods – pumpkin seeds can be easily dried, salted and turned into a delicious and healthy snack
Use beeswax candles (that emit no soot) over soy-based or paraffin candles
Give Jacko a proper burial – compost your pumpkin when November rolls around

· The costume

o Call up friends and see if you can swap old costumes
o Go to your local vintage clothing stores
o Make a costume using recycled materials
o Make your young one a candy bag out of a pillow case, or provide them with a reusable shopping bag in lieu of plastic

· The decorations

o Skip the plastic store-bought witches – use items that you already have, to create a spooky ambiance (leaves, garlic, melted candles etc.)
o Make your other decorations with recycled materials from around the house (old nylons make great cobwebs!)
o If you feel the need to purchase, make sure they are decorations that you can store and reuse year after year

· The party

Rather than sending out paper invitations, use e-vites to round up your guys and ghouls,
Don’t use plastic cups or utensils
Commute by foot, transit, or broomstick

November 1^st shouldn’t leave you with bags full of trash. The trick to reducing waste this Halloween is simple, if you follow these tips. The treat is having a great time without leaving behind a werewolf sized carbon footprint.
