Green Halloween Tips That Are a Howl!

You can be a Planetpal on Halloween, too!

Earthman is a Planetpal ™

Halloween is fun and games, but it isn't just about getting candy, bobbing for apples and winning prizes for costumes. This Halloween think about helping others while helping the planet. Practice the 3 "r"s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Here are some quick tips from Planetpals to help you share and care:

• Share your candy with a less fortunate friend.
• Have your class collect donations for a good cause.
• Make your costume out of recycled materials such as cardboard, cans, paper, old clothes or tin foil.
• Think of ways you can recycle or reuse the candy wrappers and candy bags.
• Have a Green Halloween Party
• Have a costume swap
• Have some healthy Halloween food with friends and classmates
• Decorate making recycled crafts
• Recycle your pumpkin, by making delicious dishes and drying the seeds. You can find plenty of recipes for these!
• Donate your costume and decorations to a thrift shop or swap shop when Halloween is over.
• Save your decorations to use again next year.
• You're only limited by your imagination! Maybe you can think of more ideas!

Remember: Be safe on Halloween-bring a flash light and go trick or treating with a Parent

Also to celebrate our birthday we would like to share some tips on how you can have a Greener more Eco friendly Birthday PARTY when it is your turn:

Remember:  We all need to do our part.

Here are a 10 SIMPLE TIPS when celebrating to help make any Birthday Party GREEN:

1. Have a recycle and trash plan such as pre-designated bins. Mark BINS clearly for easy use by using Planetpals FREE Recycle Sign 
2. Use reusable party items instead of disposable paper or plastic dishware and utensils
3. If you are using plastic disposables, encourage people to reuse their cups and plates instead of getting new ones.  (As a new idea, why not give everyone a cup with a unique image or their name on it, and encourage them to re-use it all day and take it home as a souvenir !)
4. Use paper items instead of plastics and styrofoam which are not biodegradable.
5. Consider cloth napkins or colorful bandanas instead of paper napkins!
6. Give reusable water bottles as a favor and encourage people to fill them
7. Buy large quantity containers instead of distributing drinks in small bottles and cans...
8. Have an end of party clean up plan in place and encourage the kids to take part in clean up so they can learn for the future
9. Recycle your party decorations by using them for your next party or trade with a friend
10. Give away eco friendly favors and gifts!

Just a few more ways that you can be a Panetpal, too!
