Halloween is coming up, \u00a0and if you haven’t decided on a costume yet, it’s probably a good time to start thinking about one. I wrote about 10 ways to green your Halloween<\/a> recently on the Fun Times Guide to Living Green and 4 of the tips focused on costumes. I thought those would be worth a share here as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 4 general tips were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don’t look too far.<\/strong> With a little creativity, you can probably come up with a good costume just from the clothes in your closet — an old uniform or just some funky clothes you’ve picked up along the way. I’ve dressed up in a Uganda soccer jersey with matching yellow swim trunks in the past, for example. I’m sure you could do better — I try to keep my wardrobe pretty simple.<\/li>\n
  2. Check out the closet or room next door<\/strong>. Check out your sibling or partner’s closet if you can’t find something in yours… Chances are, something of theirs will seem more interesting on you than on them.<\/li>\n
  3. Swap costumes<\/strong>. Like one of your friend or sibling’s costumes from years past? Borrow it and maybe give one of yours to them.<\/li>\n
  4. Create a Costume from Scratch<\/strong>. Use whatever you have to create a full-out Halloween costume<\/a> all on your own. Maybe go the mummy route (see video below), or become a Spartan warrior or Halo Master Chief.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
