Make a Difference by Greening Your Halloween

Whether they opt for scary, trendy or glamorous, choosing the right Halloween costume is one of the first fashion statements little tikes make.  But, did you know that if half the children in America swapped Halloween costumes rather than buying new ones, it would save more than 6,000 TONS of waste in our landfills?  There's a great Seattle-area company that is out to change the amount of waste, not to mention the amount of sugar consumed, during Halloween.  

Greenhalloween.org helps families, schools and children organize costume swaps and they have an online swapping marketplace too.  National Costume Swap Day is October 8, find some tips and on how to swap here and in the videos below.
