Get ready for National Costume Swap Day! It always falls on the second Saturday in October, so it’s coming up on the 15th . If you don’t find a swap in your area, set one up – most libraries, schools, and rec centers will let you use a room for such a great community event! According to Green Halloween, if just half the kids in the U.S. swapped costumes versus buying new ones, we could reduce 6,250 tons of landfill waste per year. That’s about the same weight as 2,500 mid-size cars!
About Growing 2 Shine
Being an avid gardener, born and raised in Indiana, I feel incredible blessed to live in sunny California & be able to grow my own food all year-round! I write a monthly garden column for the San Jose Mercury News & am constantly striving for tips & ideas on how to live a little more gently in regards to ourselves, our planet & each other – basically sustainability we can live with! As a fulltime realtor here in the Bay Area, I help my clients “Go Green” in & around their homes & communities.
