Let's have a GREEN-Halloween!
When the neighbourhood ghouls show up at your door this Halloween, give them treats that also treat the environment gently.
There is a growing variety of eco-friendly candy—from organic chocolate
to organic lollipops—available online and from local organic groceries,
health food stores, or consumer cooperatives. These organic candies can
satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your health, and they are
produced using methods that don’t damage the environment.
Choose treats that use little or no packaging that is produced using
fossil fuels and cannot be recycled. Whenever possible, buy locally
produced treats from local merchants. Buying locally supports your
local economy, and also reduces fuel consumption and pollution
associated with transporting products.
