Happy Halloween! 🎃 Here are 5 easy ~last minute~ Halloween costumes for couples with stuff you probably already have in your closet ♻️ An investigation in 2019 showed that 83% of Halloween costume materials were oil-based plastics (think plastic masks, synthetic fibers, fish nets, etc). This equates to approximately 2000 tons of plastic waste generated by halloween costumes every year!! We all love a good costume, but not when it’s only going to be worn once and then thrown away (or never worn again). Instead, here are some sustainable alternatives for Halloween costumes (whether for this year, or next!) 🎃Try looking at what you can create with clothes + accessories already in your closet—you’ll be surprised by what you can piece together by looking for inspiration online. 👻Check out your local secondhand / thrift store for Halloween costumes / accessories! Plus, you’ll save money than buying retail price. 🩸If buying new, plan to wear/use it again for future halloween festivities! *No one is really going to remember what you were last year 😉 🦇 Don’t throw away your costume if it’s still in good shape. If you’re looking to clean out, see if any secondhand stores will take them! (Sometimes they will buy in costumes and keep them in storage until the following year to have a good selection of inventory). ⚠️REMEMBER! Your Halloween costume could already be living in your closet 🧟‍♀️ #sustainablehalloween #costumeideas #sustainablehalloweentips #halloweencostumeideas #sustainabletips
