HALLOWEEN
Our friends at OneTreePlanted say that while Halloween is one of the most fun holidays of the year, all those tricks and treats can add up to a hefty impact on our planet. In fact, the spookiest thing about Halloween might just be the amount of waste that is produced because of the holiday. One 2019 study estimated that around 2,000 tons of plastic waste is generated from disposable Halloween clothing in the UK alone. So don't be a monster (unless that's your costume) and make your Halloween a little greener this year!
