Green Halloween® – The “eek-o-friendly” revolution (By Corey Hope Colwell-Lipson)

Who says Halloween has to be unhealthy? And who says healthy can’t be fun? Green Halloween® is about making Halloween happy and healthy and about creating community traditions we can all be proud of.

What is Green Halloween®?

Green Halloween® is a non-profit, grassroots initiative striving to create healthier, eco-friendlier holidays– starting with  Halloween. Launched in Seattle in 2007 by a mother of two, the nationwide movement is all about educating and inspiring
communities by showing how easy, affordable, and fun it can be to factor our earth and our health into our daily choices.

So forget orange and black. With upcoming events in cities across the U.S., this community initiative is adding much-needed green to Halloween. It’s a scream!
