Did you know? Halloween generates a haunting amount of waste each year. On average, 12,500 tons of Halloween costumes end up in landfills annually. That's not all – those spooky decorations, single-use plastics, and discarded pumpkins contribute to the scary waste problem too. 

This Halloween season, let's aim to reduce our environmental footprint. Get creative with eco-friendly costumes, opt for reusable decorations, and consider composting your jack-o'-lanterns. Small steps can make a big difference in preserving our planet. For more facts about Halloween waste have a look at this article from Hummingbird International's website to learn more.

 Together, we can make Halloween a little less spooky for the environment! 

According to statistics, most of this holiday waste, dominated by single-use plastics, ends up in landfills, worsening an already raging crisis: climate change. Just recently, in Pakistan, a developing country, climate change-linked deadly floods cost the country $40B in losses. Nearly 2,000 people, including children, lost their lives, and over 2.1 million people lost their homes.
