Thinking Green for Halloween
Thinking green on Halloween is as simple as 1-2-3! When considering products for your Green Halloween®, look for quality items made from natural ingredients/materials that will be enjoyed long past November1st. It is also a good idea to look for items that can be reused or recycled. If you choose food, look for healthy (or healthier) choices. Additionally, look for products that meet one or more of the following"3G" criteria:
1) Good for People
- Treats are organic or pesticide-free
- Food items are made from healthy and whole ingredients and do not contain high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans-fats, artificial colors or flavors
- Non-food items are made from safe materials and do not pose and suspected immediate or long-term health risks
- Items are produced with earth-friendly practices, such as by organic farming
- Preference is given to locally grown or made goods, which alleviates the environmental impact from shipping. (Get to know local farmers and shop with them!)
- Non-food items are made from earth-friendly materials such as sustainably harvested wood or recycled materials
- The items include as little packaging as possible
- The people making the items earn fair wages, exclude child labor and work in safe conditions (Ideally, imported goods are certified Fair Trade). The manufacturer may give a percentage of profits to a worthy cause.
