A Low (zero) Waste Halloween with Kids - Ep. 018

Americans spend BILLIONs of dollars a year on Halloween celebrations. The amount of waste that goes into the items we buy is a lot. Not to mention, expensive! I even give lots of ideas to the common question: what do I hand out to trick or treaters that's eco-friendly and low waste?

This episode talks about how to have an eco-friendly Halloween with kids.

Here are the questions I answer and topics covered:

• -frightening Halloween statistics
• -what to give trick-or-treaters (non-candy and candy ideas)
• -the Teal Pumpkin Project
• -what to do with all those candy wrappers
• -what to do with leftover Halloween candy
• -eco friendly Halloween costumes
• -where to rent Halloween costumes
• -how to keep pumpkin carving eco-friendly
• -what to do with your pumpkin after Halloween
