Go green for Halloween
Go green for Halloween and reduce, reuse recycle
- make your own Halloween decorations using everyday items. Tin cans, bin bags, egg cartons and toilet roll holders can all be used to create something spooktacular, and the kids will have fun helping too!
- don't waste your pumpkins. Once you've carved your pumpkins put the leftovers to good use with one of these recipes https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/top-20-pumpkin-recipes
- try to buy sweets that have recyclable wrappers and avoid using plastic bags and buckets when trick or treating. Consider using a paper bag or an old pillow case that the kids can decorate instead
- when it comes to Halloween costumes try not to buy new. Think about what clothes you already have at home that you could use, look in charity shops or swap last years costumes with friends and neighbours
