Are you frightened by the amount of waste that can be generated from Halloween? In addition to the amount of trash that comes from practically disposable Halloween costumes, plastic treat bags, and Halloween decorations, there is the issue of which Halloween treats you’ll choose to give to all the little ghosts and goblins that show up at your door. This year, consider giving up the usual individually-wrapped candies in favor of green Halloween treats that go a lot easier on the environment. Here are a few ideas:

Recycled pencils- These recycled pencils are available in recycled denim, recycled currency, and recycled paper.

Recycled stickers- A creative Halloween treat for trick-or-treaters. These recycled Halloween stickers are made from 30% post-consumer content.

Soy crayon rocks- These rock-shaped crayons, pictured above, are made of soy. You get 16 per package, so you can treat your Halloween visitors with one or two per person.

Sweet Halloween treats- If you really want to include a sweet treat for your trick-or-treaters, there are many options in both fair trade Halloween candy and candy that comes in recycled or biodegradable packaging. Here’s more information on green Halloween candy from National Geographic.
