CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Halloween, a holiday known for its fun, unfortunately generates a significant amount of waste, with millions of non-recyclable costumes ending up in landfills each year.
Amy Aussieker, Executive Director of Envision Charlotte, suggests simple yet impactful changes to celebrate more sustainably. Consider donating or reusing costumes, opting for candy in cardboard packaging, and using reusable bags or pillowcases for trick-or-treating.
The Great Halloween Costume Swap is a great event held at the Innovation Barn, offering a fantastic opportunity to find a “new to you” costume and reduce waste and even get it tailored to you on site!
