Halloween Green Grin

Once again a holiday is just around the corner. It will be full of treats and a few tricks. It promises to bring some merry making ranging from office parties to intimate meals at home. Want to have a green celebration? Here are 5 must-do green checklist:

1. Wear Green

Bring out last years costume. Add a few modifications to it. If you rented one, try making one to be used year in year out.

2. Walk

No drive through’s for treats this year. Good old fashioned walking will save plenty carbon emissions.

3. Wait up for the kids:

Be nice. Don’t turn off all your lights and stay in darkness under the pretext of being green. This shade of green is not acceptable at this time of the year. Stay up, wait for them and have some descent treats! Green is not equal to cheap. There is green chocolate, green candy, green mash mellows…list is endless.

4. Watch what you eat:

Make the weighing scale your friend. Too many treats and you will not be having a nice thanksgiving. Spread them over to the end of the year. Green matches with red. Keep some for Christmas.

5. Waste management:

At the end of the day, Recycle: pumpkin for soup and pies and its seeds for garnish. Remember the leaves make a wonderful vegetable dish. Reuse:  Keep away the decorations for next year. Restore: dental care and a bit of exercise will bring right back to where you need to be ready for the next session of merry making.
