Last year we gave you many tips on how easily you can act and behave GREEN on Halloween. This year we would like to introduce you to an organization that is also dedicated to making your Green Halloween fun for you and your kids by reducing the amount of "things".
It’s really not about the candy. Kids have fun when their parents get involved and have fun themselves. So the motto of GreenHalloween.org is "Part of being green is focusing on people instead of things."
Green Halloween.org offers a variety of great tips, such as:
- Shopping tips,
- Invitations,
- Food,
- Activities, games and crafts,
- Party favors and prizes,
- Treats and treasures for LOTS of kids,
- Decorations.
For more information, tips and ideas, please visit their website.
