Halloween in the desert



We're ready for the little witches and goblins to visit us this Halloween. It was always one of my favorite holidays as a child. Parents in our neighborhood play it safe and drive their kids to homes where they know the residents. Or, they have special functions at parties, schools or churches for them to attend.

We try to give non-GMO candy that is not laced with herbicides. We also give fruit and homemade goodies. Trader Joe's and health stores offer alternatives. Living responsibly doesn't have to cost more...we just have to think it through...and do a little at a time.

Tip: When taking the little ones trick-or-treating, don’t supply them with a Halloween-decorated plastic bag or bucket. Those will likely be used only once, so choose a less wasteful option like a pillowcase or a cloth/canvas tote that is reusable year-round.

Hope you have a safe and fun holiday!
