Eco friendly Halloween<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Halloween has come and so is the fun associated with this amazing day. Kids would wear cute and scary Halloween costumes and would run door to door yelling trick or treat. But the scariest thing about Halloween is the plastic waste. From the past few years, awareness regarding the plastic waste has been among people and everyone is trying his\/her bit to celebrate it in a more eco-friendlier way.<\/p>\n

We have listed some ideas to do our best to make this holiday as eco-friendly as possible! And it\u2019s not that complex!<\/p>\n

Decoration<\/strong><\/h4>\n

First of all, if you already have some plastic decorations because you bought them years ago\u2026 It\u2019s ok! Don\u2019t feel guilty and throw them away! You paid for them, you have them\u2026 Might as well use them as long as possible! Anyway, they\u2019ll take hundred and hundred years to deteriorate\u2026 So, why not use them for years!<\/p>\n

If you really want new decorations for an eco friendly Halloween, you can make them with things you have at home or find in a thrift shop. When I was young, my favorite and most terrifying decoration was a character that my dad made from old clothes stuffed with dead leaves, a pumpkin head and a toy revolver\u2026 It doesn\u2019t take much for the magic to work!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that pumpkin isn\u2019t just a decoration\u2026 It\u2019s also delicious squash! Carve it only the day before Halloween, that way you\u2019ll be able to use it for cooking. Even better, don\u2019t cut it and only decorate the outside!<\/p>\n

Costumes <\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>I know, it\u2019s fun to buy a new one every year\u2026 But is it really necessary? Thrift shops are full of used costumes or old clothes that you can transform with a little bit of imagination\u2026 And children have a lot of that!<\/p>\n

Also, did you think of planning a costume exchange party with friends? Your friends\u2019 children\u2019s old costumes could be a treasure for your children\u2026 And vice versa! At home, when my older sister had a new Halloween costume\u2026 Everybody wore it! We all had our year to dress up as a pink rabbit\u2026 even my little brother!<\/p>\n

Oh! Did you think to make your own makeup? In addition to avoiding toxic products, you\u2019ll save money!! Discover the recipe here!<\/a> And you don\u2019t have to use a plastic spoon as they say! But you\u2019ll see the ingredients!<\/p>\n

Candies <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ok\u2026 We won\u2019t do miracles with that! Hygiene obliges us to offer packed treats for the children Halloween night! But we can choose better options\u2026<\/p>\n

First of all, do we really need to prepare small bags of candies? It\u2019s a waste of time and a waste of plastic bags. I prefer a handful of candies for every kid.<\/p>\n

A better option is to offer bigger treats\u2026 Why give 5 little candies when you can give 1 big one? It\u2019s up to you to choose, knowing your budget and the number of kids who will come at your home on Halloween. Also, you can go with fair trade products or Canadian ones.<\/p>\n

Trick or Treat<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Please, don\u2019t follow your children the entire way with your car! It\u2019s not eco-friendly and it\u2019s dangerous for other kids!<\/p>\n

A pillowcase or a reusable bag is the best to contain all the candies kids wish for!<\/p>\n

After eating them, you can reuse all the packaging – DIY, funny wrapping paper\u2026. They can be used again before having to throw them away. Because most of them aren\u2019t recyclable!<\/p>\n

Party<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Are you planning a Halloween party? Well, you can theme it around home-crafted costumes. You can motivate people towards eco friendly Halloween by giving away rewards to the ones who put in their best effort.<\/p>\n

You can serve food in disposable wooden utensils<\/a> instead of plastic ones.<\/p>\n

With little planning, you can make this celebration a green celebration.<\/p>\n

So\u2026 Happy Halloween!!<\/p>\n
