 Halloween should be fun and festive; the great thing is that it doesn't need to be scary for the animals or the planet.
Inspired by the Reverse Trick-or-Treating concept created by Global
Exchange to raise awareness about Fair Trade chocolate, we decided to
adapt the idea for all the compassionate Halloween enthusiasts out
there.
The
idea and execution are simple: download and print out these
information cards - they will print out four-to-a-page - and then you can cut
them out from there, affix a piece of Fair Trade, vegan chocolate or
other vegan treat to the
back with tape, and give door-to-door on Halloween, to
trick-or-treaters at your door and even classrooms. Our experience is that children love to
patrticipate in this opportunity to spread the message of compassionate
living. For more on the reasons behind supporting Fair Trade, please visit here
and to get a list of Fair Trade chocolates, please check out the wonderful Food
Empowerment Project.
There are various sources through which you can buy Fair Trade, vegan
chocolate that are affordable and the right size for the cards but
this is the one we have used over the years.
Here are some other options.
Want
other ideas for vegan Halloween candy? Check out this exhaustive list. There are also non-edibles like pencils and small toys that can be
given away for Humane Halloween but please be mindful of not
contributing to the waste stream by avoiding plastics and please don't
give away items made using sweatshop labor.
Also, visit the Humane Halloween Facebook Page for lively conversations and other great ideas and tips.
Last, please participate in Humane Halloween by printing out the cards
and sign this year and help to get the word out that you can celebrate
holidays with fun and flair without compromising your values.
Have fun, everyone!
