Green Halloween October 1, 2009

Green Halloween® is a grassroots, volunteer-run, not-for profit initiative to create healthier and more Earth-friendly holidays, starting with Halloween. Green Halloween began in the Seattle-area in 2007 and in 2008 went nation-wide, thanks to wide-spread media exposure (in the US and Canada), word-of-mouth marketing and online buzz, as well as the support and enthusiasm of families and businesses all over the country. This year we’ll continue to expand our efforts locally the Northwest and from coast-to-coast in partnership with health, environment and arts-related businesses and organizations such as Treeswing, HealthCorps, EcoMom Alliance, and Arts Action League – just to name a few.

Green Halloween is not a single event, but rather a one-of-a-kind, two-month push (September-October) to educate and inspire communities about three primary issues: health, the environment and community change. We also focus on creativity, family and fun.
