Get ready for National Costume Swap Day!
School’s barely gotten started, and I’m talking about Halloween? Well, yes. But not because I want you to run out this weekend to start stocking up on costumes, face paint, decorations, and the like. In fact, it’s because I want you to do the opposite.
I’m talking about National Costume Swap Day, a country-wide event encouraging local kids and families to trade Halloween get-ups instead of buying new ones to reduce waste. An effort we’re promoting with our friends at Green Halloween, National Costume Swap Day takes place on Saturday, October 9th. Parents in Illinois, New Jersey, Florida, and Oregon (to name a few) have already started events in their communities—but to make a real eco-impact, we need your help! Find a National Costume Swap event near you, or learn how to organize, promote, and run your own at greenhalloween.org/costumeswap.
