10 Tips On Celebrating An Eco-friendly Halloween

One of the best parts of Halloween is going around your neighbourhood and collecting or giving out candy and other treats. You can avoid creating waste by ditching store-bought chocolate that is wrapped in plastic wrappers. Instead, you can opt for making your own sweets and wrapping them in food-safe brown paper. This lets you customise your ingredients to be allergen-free and it’s a fun and interactive activity that the whole family can participate in.

Perfecting your look is an exciting process and having the right makeup means that you can get creative with it. There are many choices of organic makeup brands that can suit your specific skin type and also come in various shades.

Using organic makeup means that you are also using clean ingredients that will treat your skin right. This is a great way to make sustainable choices while boosting your skin’s health.

Most of us have loads of used paper laying around: old newspapers, printouts that we no longer need, pamphlets that we shoved to the end of the drawers. Since decorations are such an important part of Halloween traditions, making things out of your old paper is a great way to involve the whole family in designing your spooky decor.

Halloween in 2022 is another chance for you to show off your hosting prowess, all while helping the environment. Use reusable cups and plates instead of buying disposable ones to reduce waste. You can also ensure better hygienic practices by buying differently coloured ones so that your guests can identify the cutlery they used by its colour. Considering how far we have come from our pre-pandemic selves, making better hygienic choices is a bonus!

If you have a yard or a neighbourhood with many trees, collect dried branches and fallen leaves and transform them into some spooky accessories. Place some small branches with leaves in an ornate pot and decorate your mantle or coffee table with it. Leaves can also be preserved between pages of books and you can take these out once they’ve dried. You can place them around your house or add them as wall decor to create seasonal vibes. No need to buy new decorations when you can just use what nature already provides us with.

Perhaps the best way to source costume pieces, decorations, and kitchenware that you don’t already have is to seek out your local thrift stores. They’re a great way to buy well-loved items that you know are not ending up in a landfill. Thrift stores are also often stuffed with hidden treasures that you may not find in other shops. You may just find a beautiful antique hat that’s perfect for a witchy outfit!

We hope this article helps you to plan the perfect, eco-friendly Halloween. The best part about all of these tips is that you can keep using what you already have to create new concepts and decorations each year. We hope you have an exciting spooky season!
