The trees are slowly starting to turn from green to orange, which means we’re finally entering spooky season! Halloween is one of my favourite holidays of the year, but unfortunately, it’s also one of the most waste producing, too. Every year to celebrate the occasion, many of us are guilty of spending our hard earned cash on sweets, pumpkins, costumes and decorations, which not only worsens the plastic pollution problem but contributes to huge amounts of food waste. 

We know this year might be a little different due to the pandemic, so what better year to revamp your usual Halloween traditions to both save money and protect the planet. Here’s our simple guide for making your All Hallows' Eve just a little more sustainable (and still have a lot of fun!).
