This year, why not give Halloween an eco-responsible twist? By choosing sustainable practices, you can reduce your environmental impact while having fun!
At Renaissance, Halloween is eco: ecological and economical! By shopping at a thrift store, you help divert goods from landfills and support local shopping, as all donations come from families in your community.
Did you know? Halloween is the second largest holiday in Canada in terms of consumption! It’s a bit scary, isn’t it? 🎃👻 (Source: Recyc-Québec). That’s why we want to lessen this impact by offering eco-friendly alternatives.
Here are some ideas to make your Halloween this year a bit more sustainable, without compromising the “spooky” aspect!
1.Second-Hand Costumes
Instead of buying new costumes, explore thrift stores or swap costumes with friends. This reduces waste and allows you to create a unique look!
2.DIY Decorations
Make your own decorations from recycled materials. Use glass jars to create lanterns or transform old sheets into ghosts. Let your creativity shine!
3.Ethical Treats
Choose candies from brands that prioritize sustainable ingredients and recyclable packaging. Consider offering non-sweet alternatives, like small toys or stickers.
4.Pumpkin Picking
Visit a local farm to pick your own pumpkin. After Halloween, you can compost it or cook it for delicious recipes, reducing waste.
5.Reuse and Recycle
After the festivities, make sure to recycle your decorations and packaging. Think about reusing materials for your future creative projects!
By opting for an eco-friendly Halloween, you add a thoughtful and creative touch to your celebrations while making unforgettable memories! 🦇🍂✨
