Party kits are like superheroes for the planet 🦸‍♂️

They have three simple powers…

♻️ Reuse: ditch single-use means less waste.

🤝 Share: one kit can serve many parties, saving resources and storage space!

🌱 Collective Action: small changes add up when we all join in.

Last year, our network helped avoid over 315,000 single-use items – that’s roughly the weight of a female hippo! 🦛

Come join us 🥳

Kickstarting the weekend's Halloween party preparations with an Orange County Party Kit can make a profound impact. 🎃

First up is this grown-ups Party Kit for 10 guests, which can avoid 40 single-use items, and I've got two more party kits to pack.

Next, I'm prepping the children's Halloween Party Kits to support local OC Teachers with a classroom of 24 students.

To conclude, I’m preparing my daughter’s classroom Halloween Party Kit to celebrate sustainability and inspire PTA Moms to make single swaps during classroom events.

Skip the carving pumpkin 🎃 instead take up the paintbrush! 🎨

Painting instead of carving is a game-changer.
it keeps sharp knives out of reach of little ones, reduces mess and stress, and preserves your pumpkin for a delicious meal later on. By choosing to decorate rather than carve, you're not only making a safer, more enjoyable choice for your family, but also contributing to a more sustainable future by reducing food waste and its climate impact.

Why Swapping Costumes Is a Brilliant Way to Revolutionize Halloween? 🎃

The holiday can be costly and wasteful, with families spending an average of $300 on a single-use costume, contributing to textile waste and plastic pollution.

However, by swapping costumes instead of buying new, families can unlock a world of benefits, including:

1) saving money, reducing waste and carbon emissions

2) encouraging creativity

Did you know? Accessories offer a simple yet effective way to transform a character's outfit, bringing new life to a favorite character without the need for a full costume.

Host & organize a Halloween costume exchange in your community with Festiveknicknacks Sustainable Parties.
