Have an Eek-o-Friendly Halloween!

http://kidskonserve.com/blo...>Have an "eek-o-friendly" Halloween!
Back in the day, Halloween was different.  It was a time to create, be imaginative, and it was a low-budget holiday.  I still remember the countless decorations and costumes that were made out of old sheets and cardboard, not bought.  The treats were homemade and trick or treating was done on foot.  We used old pillowcases as candy bags!  Back then, Halloween was green and it didn't even phase us.  It was fun.  Now, almost $6 billion a year is spent on costumes, candy, decor and other accessories, most of which are made from unhealthy, unsustainable materials, by people who may not be paid living wages or treated fairly.  Most of the stuff - what isn't consumed - winds up in landfills.  It is time to get back to basics - having good clean fun!

Environmentally minded businesses are increasingly finding one another to join together and strengthen the message.  http://www.greenhalloween.o...>GreenHalloween is a non-profit, grassroots initiative striving to create healthier, eco-friendlier holidays - starting with Halloween.  The mother and daughter team has come up with 25 Green Halloween tips to help with planning and reducing the cleanup.  Here are some of their tips (to read all of their great tips and ideas, go to http://www.greenhalloween.o...>www.greenhalloween.org):

  • Apply the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) to all of your holiday choices: costumes, décor, goodies, etc. Of the 3 R’s, reducing is the best for the Earth, our wallets and, in regard to food, our waistlines. Rent, borrow, make or acquire used, when possible, to avoid buying new, especially disposables.

  • Consider your costumes. The truth is, many store-bought costumes and accessories containhttp://www.king5.com/video/...> toxic chemicals that not only are a potential hazard to your child, but also to the environment and the people who helped to make them. Choose fabrics such as cotton, wool and silk or make costumes yourself from materials you know to be safe.

  • Trim your trick-or-treats. Hand out less ________ (fill in the blank). Preferably your goodies of choice are healthy and/or Earth-friendly, but even if they’re not, handing out just one (rather than the conventional handful) of something is better for kids, better for the planet and better for your bank account.

  • Choose eek-o-décor. Say ‘no’ to disposables and instead, re-use or re-purpose items you already own. Look also for items from nature and don’t forget to decorate with food (consumable décor). If you must use disposables, look for products that are reusable and recyclable items like http://store.kidskonserve.c...>Kids Konserve Party Pak.
  • Instead of buying a goodie bag use a http://store.kidskonserve.c...>Kids Konserve Reusable Lunch Sack, http://store.kidskonserve.c...>Kids Konserve Drawstring Bag, or a pillow case.
     
  • Make your own face paints – the recipe can be found in the book, http://www.celebrategreen.n...>Celebrate Green!http://www.celebrategreen.n...>
  • Invitations – use http://www.google.com/searc...>e-invitations or make your own from reused, recycled or tree-free sources. 
  • Start small and build your confidence. Start simply by having (and using) a recycle bin at your party or by going bottled water-free. You can green up each of your next celebrations a little bit at a time until celebrating green-style becomes old hat.  Small things add up to big things.
     
  • Don’t drive to trick or treat.  Encourage your neighbors to go green and then go door-to-door near you. It’s good for you and the planet and builds community.

Kids Konserve wishes you all a safe, fun, and eek-o friendly Halloween!

Celebrate without all that Trash!!!
Kids Konserve Has Parties in the Bag!

Planning an event can be fun and dreadful at the same time.  A party is a wonderful way to celebrate your daughter's/son's birthday or a special holiday event (Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas, etc.).  However, all the waste that it can create can be overwhelming. 

I remember those birthday parties that I would just buy the disposable plates, cups, silverware, and napkins so I didn't have to do any clean-up!  I just tossed out the disposable goods into the large plastic kitchen bag and tossed it into the garbage can, even having to jump on it to fit it all in.  Never did I think about the afterlife at the ever growing landfill. 

Imagine the mounds of landfill waste created by a classroom of 25 students having 4 holiday classroom parties and an average of 6 student birthday celebrations per school year.  This would amount to upwards of 250 paper plates, cups and disposable cutlery in a single school year.  Multiply this by an average school with 400 students and 16 classrooms and you arrive at an astonishing 4000 paper plates, cups, plastic forks, spoons and knives being tossed into our ever growing landfills.  Now you do not have to sign up anymore to buy and bring paper products for the classroom party or for your child's birthday party. 

Our new Party Pak takes the waste out of our parties.  It is perfect for birthday parties, classroom parties, picnics, holiday parties, and block parties.   Waste-free events are a great way to show your commitment to the environment, but also model waste-free for your guests.  So, this year, have a birthday party that's easier on the planet, and still have a ton of fun!

Party Pak

Kids Konserve has parties in the bag!  Perfect for the classroom or at home.

  • 25 - 7" recycled plastic plates
  • 25 - 16 ounce recycled plastic cups
  • 25 - sets of recycled plastic forks, knives and spoons

Organized neatly inside 3 cotton drawstring bags.  All made entirely from 100% BPA and phalate free, recycled #5 plastic.  Think old yogurt and cottage cheese containers.  In addition, they are manufactured in USA!  The ultimate in REUSE!!!

And finish off your table setting with Fabkins- reusable cloth napkins.  Each order received through April 22 will receive 10% off at Fabkins.com Look for coupon code on your checkout page.
