HallowGREEN

Halloween is right around the corner and I can't wait.  It is, hands down, my favorite holiday. From transforming my house into a creepy lair to dressing up in odd costumes I love every part of this spooktactular holiday.... well almost every part.  Halloween, although amazing, is not very economical. However it is possible for you to green your Halloween by making a few simple alterations to your holiday traditions.  Consider how you could incorporate the three R's (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) this October 31 and enjoy the new and improved eco-friendly, earth-friendly celebration....

Just a few SCARY statistics

• According to recycleworks.org we produce 25% more household waste during the period from Halloween to New Years than any other time of the year. This turns about to be about 1 million additional tons of garbage to our landfills each week during the holidays. -YIKES!
• Over 6,000 synthetic chemicals are used in the processed-food industry.- Eat up kids
• In the United States, during the halloween season we use, on average, 998 million pounds of pumpkins
