Random Acts of Green’s seventh annual HallowGreen Challenge encourages people of their day-to-day actions’s impact on the planet, move beyond “just recycling” by exploring new ways to be green.
Both local and global green organizations come together to promote and participate in the online challenge to build awareness. Random Acts of Green says this keeps everyone engaged in climate action like composting, air drying clothing or refusing single-use plastics.
Citizens, school boards, classrooms, offices and businesses are encouraged to take part in the HallowGreen Challenge and build awareness about climate action and the planet while participating in spooky season and Halloween festivities.
Waste statistics surrounding Halloween traditions suggest hundreds of thousands of pounds of pumpkin rot in landfills every year and a single trick-or-treater generates about one pound of trash from candy wrappers alone according to a press release.
“Our 7th annual challenge continues to inspire folks to rethink how we celebrate holidays like Halloween in a way that does not create added waste for the environment,” says Alannah Hardcastle, Random Acts of Green social impact manager.
