Happy Green Halloween!
Halloween is days away and for sure, kids are dreaming of those sweets and treats which they normally get every year. But since we are in the transition towards shifting to an eco-friendly world, perhaps we can apply candies and sweets to the mix. Why not give green candy (not just the color!) which make use of natural resources and carry less if no preservatives.
Some candy stores are trying to kick off this practice. For example, the NaturalCandyStore.com and local co-ops sell candy that is fair-trade, corn-syrup free, and organic. Seward Co-Op currently has Yummy Earth assorted candies for $5.29 a pound. Yummy Earth makes organic lollipops, candy drops, and gummi bears that are free of chemical colors, artificial flavors, and corn syrup.
These and other eco-friendly practices that include green Halloween costumes can really help in the shift towards eco-friendly practices. But they all have to start somewhere and some groups are doing just that!
