Earth 911 has posted some fun suggestions for reusing and reducing waste just in time for Halloween. One idea I plan to try is making cans into jack-0-lanterns. I like to make my pumpkins into puree for pies and pumpkin soup, so I don't like to carve them. But I want some extra lighting effects when the trick-or-treaters come to the door. Also, rather than purchasing a ready-made costume for you or your kids, try creating one from clothing purchased at a reuse shop like Goodwill. See- reusing and reducing can be fun!

Karen,

Thanks for the suggestions! You know what's really frightening? All of the waste created starting now through the holidays...if everyone could see all of it, talk about a scary sight!
