How to celebrate a more sustainable Halloween

Sustainability

Oct 30

Serve plant-based options to reduce your climate impact!
Serve homemade drinks instead of drinks from plastic bottles made of glass bottle drinks such as kombucha, lemon juice and other kinds of juices.
Service food on second-hand plates, knives and in already-use glasses. Avoid single-use items and instead, ask for help with the washing in advance.
Recycle and reuse whatever you can after the party.
Say no to gifts and giving, if it’s not homemade with plenty of love and reused materials (of couse)!

Use real pumpkins for your candles, take care of the interior for your pumpkin pie and roast the pumpkin seeds in the oven as snacks.
Buy candles made of more sustainable materials such as 100% stearin and avoid paraffin candles.
Decorate with your own created items. Old bedsheets can become small ghosts, paper can be cut into ghosts too and old glass bottles can become new candle holders. Check the video below for inspiration. It is all about using what you already have at home in a creative way.

Make your own candy and wrap it in paper instead of buying candy in plastic wrapping.
Give away homemade cookies, muffins and cupcakes instead of candy. Who wouldn’t be happy if they get a cookie?
Reuse your own textile bag and give away an up-cycled textile bag made of a pillowcase filled with candy.

Buy your costume second-hand, maybe at an online marketplace or at your local store. Dear ask your friends on social media if someone has one they don’t need or will use this year.
Make your own costume based on what you have at home. A black dress and some green makeup on the face can make anyone look like a witch. Or wrap yourself in some white textiles that are of no use until you become a mummy. With second-hand devil’s horn, you can use the make-up you have at home and put on some red clothes, no one will question that you are the devil himself!

Enjoy your holiday!
