Even though Halloween is still a few months away, it’s never too early to start prepping! This wonderful article from Reader’s Digest showcases (in their opinion) the ten best “healthy” halloween snacks and treats.

In case these snacks won’t satisfy you or your youngster’s taste buds, go for a more do-it-yourself route! Make these hand-dipped strawberries instead of using packaged store-bought candy. It can be a great kitchen activity you can do with your kids to teach them about healthy food as well as eating and cooking right.

What do you think? Will you be incorporating these in your candy bowls this year for trick-or-treaters? Or do you have other alternatives that you think are much healthier? Let us know!

In 2007, Green Halloween began in the Seattle area. By 20o8, four cities had joined in the fun. Last year a few more signed on.

By Green Halloween 2010, we’ll have at least NINE cities, but we’re aiming for even more!

Here are the cities where we have Green Halloween coordinators planning public events and/or Green Halloween trick-or-treat trails:

• Seattle
• San Francisco
• Los Angeles
• Phoenix
• Austin
• Chicago
• Washington D.C.
• NYC
• Daytona Beach

Do you live in one of these cities and want to be involved? Let us know! We’d love to add you to the mix.

Thanks, Mothering magazine for featuring our current search for Green Halloween coordinators!!

As you might have determined from our lack of recent blog posts, now that Halloween is over (we’re sorry, it’s true), we’ve been busy with other things.

But not just any other things.

Green things.

Celebrate Green! things, to be exact.

You see, as much as we love Green Halloween, we also love Green Christmas, Green Hanukkah, Green Kwanzaa and even Green New Year’s. We love Green Valentine’s Day, Green St. Patty’s and Green Easter, Passover, and Mother’s Day, too. We’re into greening birthdays and weddings and even office parties. But it’s hard to blog about eco office parties on a site called Green Halloween.

So, as we do every year at this time, we head on over to www.CelebrateGreen.net (and www.CelebrateGreen.net/blog) to fulfill our dream of greening up the world during ALL seasons and holidays.We’re not two-faced, we’re just multi-passionate.

And fear not, Green Halloween fans, we’ll be back. Come late summer we’ll reach out to you here, once again. But in the meantime, we don’t have to part ways! We can stay connected at CelebrateGreen.net.

Of course, we can also stay in touch via Twitter, Facebook or plain old regular e-mail. Whatever floats your boat. Just know that come Halloween 2010, we’ll be back. Bigger than ever.

We can’t wait to see you then…

Happy holidays, from our family to yours!
