Thrifted Halloween: Spooky and Sustainable
Every spooky season, over 85% of Halloween costumes end up in landfills, according to a Hubbub survey conducted in 2019. The cheap polyester used in these costumes can take over 150 years to decompose.
Instead of wasting money on overpriced, single-use costumes, consider visiting your local thrift store to unleash your creative side. You'll save money and help the planet.
This October, a visit to the Wilkes-Barre Salvation Army, just 10 minutes from campus, yielded a Halloween costume for just $10. The first creation was a ladybug costume, made from a $2.99 black skirt and a $3.99 red blouse with polka dots.
Try stopping by your local thrift store to unleash the creative side of your mind.
