10 Spooky Facts About Halloween Waste And 5 Ways To Reduce It |
|
Halloween is one of the most popular holidays around the western world. It’s a night of glorious costumes, gorge-worthy candy, and spooky decorations. But have you wondered where all the candy wrappers, costumes, and decorations go, the next morning?
Some people repurpose and reuse their costumes and decorations, but many don’t.
According to statistics, most of this holiday waste, dominated by single-use plastics, ends up in landfills, worsening an already raging crisis: climate change. Just recently, in Pakistan, a developing country, climate change-linked deadly floods cost the country $40B in losses. Nearly 2,000 people, including children, lost their lives, and over 2.1 million people lost their homes.
Pakistan’s contribution to global climate change issue: less than 1%.
While climate change is a multi-layered problem, holiday waste is becoming a significant portion of it. |
