Decorations, costumes, treats - the potential for a sasquatch-sized carbon footprint at Halloween is huge. But help is no more than a mouse click away ... here are some of the web standouts with advice on greening your fright fest:
Planet Green put together a series of articles with ideas for how to shrink your environmental impact this year - and grow your creativity in the process! Contributor Leslie Billera shares some alternatives to the usual confectionary suspects that don't take the fun (or deliciousness) out of the occasion ... And Blythe Copeland has some inspired tips for making costumes and decorations, my favorite being the spooky skeleton made of socks whose partners have gone missing.
Another great source for DIY innovation is Jenn Savedge on MNN.com - she provides instructions for how to construct some fun costumes on the fly, or in a time crunch. And if the party's at your house this year, she also has fantastic ideas for Halloween games that will keep everyone involved and entertained, as well as help channel some of that treat-induced energy.
Hope everyone enjoys a spirited and safe Halloween!
