Green Halloween 2010

We know that over-consumption is reeeeeallly scary....so it may seem appropriate to go to a big box store and buy cheaply made costumes from China that you can throw away after one use.

But, the truth of the matter is Halloween is supposed to be fake scary, not real scary. For example, people dress up as Zombies and Goblins, they don't really become them.

Come visit Trash to Treasure to Green Your Halloween. Green Halloween means making your Halloween a more environmentally friendly holiday. Buying used eliminates all the waste(raw materials, water, and energy) that goes into the production and transportation of new goods. At Trash to Treasure we have tons of amazing Halloween supplies including makeup still in its packaging. We can help you with costume ideas too! Get all of your costume materials at T2T and make this Halloween a green one!

 

Trash to Treasure is joining with many great South Florida organizations for Day of the Dead Events throughout October.  Trash to Treasure is proud that many of the materials for puppets, sets, and more.  We will be at the processional on Oct 30 with a kids craft booth and we'll join in the parade.

 Get Acquainted with Fat Village and the Day of the Dead!

Fort Lauderdale will be immersed in this traditional time of celebration and remembrance on Saturday October 30th & Tuesday November 2nd for Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead.
