I just found an article online today at http://www.bellinghamherald.com/550/story/1100577.html that was all about having a green Halloween. The article was was mainly just tips about what individual people could to do have an easy, affordable, green Halloween. One of the most interesting suggestions I read was to buy fair trade chocolates. This would be a good idea because every kid wants candy and you would be giving them what they want while being sustainable at the same time. I've never bought fair trade chocolates and I'm not sure if children or even their parents would know the difference or if it would even matter to them. Nonetheless it would still be beneficial because if you buy fair trade chocolate it's less mass produced chocolate you are buying. This article was effective because it's written as an informative, educational piece. It's not condoning people for not being green, it's simply telling you what you can do which is very persuasive. When I searched for green Halloween on the web, there are many other sites for people to go if they are interested. The key is just to plan ahead because if you wait too long, it will be virtually impossible to get the Halloween you want whether its candy or a costume.
