Enter the Green Halloween® “Spooky Faces” Contest
by Corey
Send us your best “Spooky Face” and win!
We all know (and are hearing more each day) of the scary stories surrounding the precarious-state of our children’s health and the planet we all share.
Holidays are supposed to be about making memories and having F-U-N, but unfortunately, the issues that impact our families and planet during the other 364 days of the year bleed over into this holiday, too:
Heavy metals in masks and face paints, mood-altering artificial colors, childhood obesity, diabetes and food allergy epidemics, genetically modified “Frankenfoods,” hormone disrupting costumes, child-slavery in the coco industry, single-use decor traveling half way across the planet just to end up in a landfill (where there really is no “away” in “throw-away”). The list goes on and on.
Scary.
And while Green Halloween is all about inspiring families and communities via positive messages, we agree that these spooky truths are indeed important to be aware of.
But that doesn’t mean the F-U-N has to go down the drain.
NO way!
So to highlight the reasons why it’s good for people and planet to celebrate healthy and Earth-friendly traditions, but to make sure that fear doesn’t get the best of us (this time, we’re having F-U-N with F-E-A-R), we’re hosting a brand new “Scary Face” Contest.
Just e-mail us a photo image (no larger than 72 dpi) or link to a photo with your (or your child’s) best “scary face” and tell us what you/your family/your child thinks is scary about an UN-Healthy/Green Halloween.
