Photo credit: E Magazine

Halloween may be a once-a-year celebration, but its eco-impact can last a lifetime or longer. Consider what’s left behind: throw-away decorations like those fake spider webs and dangling plastic skeletons, processed candy, plastic loot bags, one-time-use costumes and a landfill’s worth of candy wrappers. It may be good fun, but Halloween comes with an excessive carbon footprint. But that doesn’t mean you should forgo the festivities altogether. Below are some of E’s favorite ways to green your Halloween.
