Green Your Halloween!!


Halloween is almost here and Brooke loves pumpkins!!! If you missed the National Costume Swap Day, you can plan to participate next year or ask friends if they have costumes to swap. This reduces the landfill waste. You can make your own costume or go to a local thrift store and throw something together. If you do succumb to the fancy costumes that I have seen the catalogs....at least let your child dress up in them throughout the year or be sure to swap it next year! Here are some other options, especially if you need face paint/makeup for your child. The chemicals in traditional Halloween makeup are not good for anyone, who wants a rash???

The candy, candy, candy!!! Since it is National Non-GMO month it would be a good time to find Non-GMO treats don't you think??? I have seen Organic Bunny Gummy Candy at Whole Foods along with Fair Trade Chocolates. I found this great website for organic candies, www.naturalcandystore.com. You can give out organic raisins, organic animal crackers or pretzels too. If you do opt for the sugary treats, be sure to offer the bite size candies so kids can't overindulge. You can't even pronounce the ingredients, so that should tell you something. I do have a hard time resisting chocolate but when I found out what is actually in these treats, I feel like I need a week of juicing detox. You can also give out trinkets instead of candy. Visit greenhalloween.org for more ideas. It is hard to completely GREEN your holidays without resistance from the kids, but a few small steps is a step in the right direction. Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
