Make this Halloween spooky and sustainable!
With just a few simple swaps, you can enjoy all the fun of Halloween without haunting the planet. 🌿✨
1️⃣ Low-Waste Pumpkins 🎃
Before you toss that jack-o’-lantern, think again! Every part of your pumpkin can be used:
- Roast the seeds for a tasty snack.
- Cook the flesh into soup or pie.
- Compost the rest instead of throwing it away.
By making the most of your pumpkin, you keep organic waste out of landfills and create a truly zero-waste Halloween.
2️⃣ DIY or Second-Hand Costumes ♻️
Instead of buying new, get creative and go green!
Use clothes and accessories you already have, or find something unique at your local thrift shop. You’ll save money, reduce textile waste, and end up with a one-of-a-kind costume.
💄 Bonus tip: Use natural or non-toxic face paints to avoid harmful chemicals.
3️⃣ Plastic-Free Treats 🍬
Halloween doesn’t have to mean mountains of plastic wrappers!
Choose candies or snacks with minimal or recyclable packaging, or make your own homemade goodies for guests.
Think:
- Freshly baked cookies 🍪
- Popcorn balls 🍿
- Chocolate-dipped fruit 🍫
They’re delicious and better for the planet.
4️⃣ Reusable Trick-or-Treat Bags 🎒
Say goodbye to disposable plastic buckets!
Opt for reusable fabric bags, baskets, or even pillowcases for trick-or-treating. They’re durable, cute, and can be reused year after year — or even for grocery shopping.
5️⃣ Natural or DIY Decorations 🍂🕯️
Forget plastic spiders and fake cobwebs! Embrace nature-inspired Halloween décor:
- Autumn leaves 🍁
- Twigs and branches 🌾
- Pumpkins, candles, and dried flowers 🕯️
You can also craft your own spooky decorations from recycled materials — like paper bats, lanterns from glass jars, or reusing last year’s decor in creative new ways.
