Keep Your World Boo-tiful This Halloween

Be a Planetpal, too!

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 Halloween crafts with recycled materials

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.

Reuse your Halloween classroom activities (make bookmarks, decorations, etc)

Eat only packaged items you obtain Trick or Treating...and share them!

See Planetpals Green Halloween Journal for way more ideas!

You're only limited by your imagination! Maybe you can think of some more ideas!

Remember: Be safe on Halloween-be well lit, pay attention out there it's dark out, and go Trick or Treating with a parent or guardian.
