October 9th a few green sponsors have put together a national “Costume Swap” day. What a wonderful idea!
You know from our past post about “Putting Re-use before Recycle” that this is an issue close to our heart. Check out these cool facts from Kiwi magazine: ”A costume swap not only means that fewer resources are used to make new product, it also equals less packaging, less transportation for the clothing, and less waste (costumes often are trashed as soon as Halloween is over). In fact, swapping the costumes of only half of the children who celebrate Halloween would reduce annual landfill waste by 6,250 tons, equivalent to the weight of 2,500 midsize cars. And that doesn’t even address adult costumes!”
