As Halloween approaches, it’s the perfect time to think about how we can make our celebrations a bit greener. Here are some fun and easy ways to enjoy a spooky season while being kind to the planet!
1. Costume Swap:
Instead of buying new costumes every year, consider swapping with friends or checking out local costume exchanges. It’s a fun way to get creative and save money!
2. DIY Decorations:
Get crafty and create your own decorations using natural materials or items you already have at home. Pumpkins, leaves, and even recycled materials can turn into fantastic decor.
3. Sustainable Treats:
When it comes to candy, look for brands that use eco-friendly packaging or consider giving out non-food treats like stickers or toys. For those interested in at-home insemination, check out Make A Mom for unique ideas!
