๐ท๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐โฃโฃ โฃโฃ The scariest thing about Halloween is the amount of waste we produce on this day. โฃโฃ โฃโฃ Here is some food for thought:โฃโฃ โฃโฃ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โฃโฃ The biggest carbon footprint from Halloween comes from the millions of poor-quality, fast fashion costumes that are mass-produced every year. Most are made from unsustainable materials such as polyester and conventional cotton and are manufactured in countries that have poor labor standards such as China. Worst of all, many often donโt last more than a day before landing in landfill.โฃโฃ ๐ฎTry constructing your own unique costume using creativity and op shop finds. โจโฃโฃ โฃโฃ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โฃโฃ Plastic pumpkins and other disposable decorations may provide fun for the day but will take hundreds of years to degrade. โฃโฃ ๐ฎ Opt for natural materials like real pumpkins and use your creativity to inspire your own decorations. โจ โฃโฃ โฃโฃ ๐๐๐๐๐๐โฃโฃ Individually wrapped plastic treats make me cringe. โฃโฃ Not to mention some of the biggest candy manufacturers in the world including Cadbury, Nestlรฉ, Hersheyโs, and Mars have a huge impact on the environment. They massively contribute to deforestation and species extinction due to their demand for sugar, PALM OIL, and cocoa beans (which are not fair trade.)โฃโฃ ๐ฎ So why not avoid all those individually-wrapped lollies, and make some sweet treats yourself? โจโฃโฃ โฃ Just do what you can and together we will make a difference ~ being aware and working towards a green Halloween is a great start. โฃ โฃโฃ Image โง One of my favourite shoots by Tim Walker โฃโฃ Words โง Angela Loomes xโฃ โฃ #Halloween #GreenHalloween #BeTheChange #LoomesAction (at The Dead Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4R1H9hpC51/?igshid=1hv4y9qc6b8fz
