Halloween is one of almost everybody’s favorite holidays, but unfortunately, the normal celebrations are usually not to my liking. For example, almost all things associated with Halloween are either synthetic, single-serving, or disposable. Eeks! Unnecessary waste is a lot more alarming than goblins or ghosts.halloween

 

Environmentally friendly crafts for Halloween are important for the environment – they can reduce the problem of holiday wastage and provide excellent items to celebrate Halloween for next several years.

Just like any other holiday, store bought Halloween accessories and decorations can result in a lot of wastage. Often retail decorations for Halloween feature, non-biodegradable and non-recyclable materials that are packed in disposable plastic. The waste problem is worse when Halloween products are designed for one time use. While the management of all waste uses up natural resources and energy, non-biodegradable plastics pollute the environment forever and never disappear.

 

You can cut down on your household’s wastage this Halloween by making your own Halloween accessories, costumes and decorations. Whenever possible buy eco-friendly craft materials or purchase second-hand or reuse materials. Eco – friendly crafts will help you to celebrate a greener Halloween.
