The real fright of Halloween!

Environment
Written By Barbara McChesney

We McSisters typically send out blogs on Monday.  This is an extra.  We received very positive feedback about the Halloween blog we published at the start of October. In that blog, we provided several suggestions on how to reduce single-use plastic during the Halloween season. (https://www.mcsisters.org/making-a-difference-blog/trick-or-treat-another-scary-plastic-tale). It is of course no easy task.  After Halloween, we came across an article on why Halloween is an ecological disaster and want to share this with our subscribers.  By avoiding the trap of all the Halloween junk that ends up in our landfills and worse yet in our oceans, we have a golden opportunity to teach our children important lessons about saving our beloved planet.  This is not instead of Halloween, it just means celebrating a little differently.

What can you do?

  • Read this article: https://news.yahoo.com/why-halloween-is-an-ecological-disaster-202020822.html

  • Celebrate Halloween the old fashion way and have a great time with creativity!

  • With other holidays coming up, you can celebrate those the old fashioned way without the plastic too.  More holiday blogs are in the works.
