Green Tricks And Treats

Danny Seo of Better Homes And Gardens magazine showed Maggie Rodriguez some eco-friendly tricks and treats for a greener Halloween.

Not everything about Halloween has to be dark and scary. You can also be green as an eco-friendly. Here with some great ideas with Dany , a living green contributor for Better Homes an Gardens. Hello.

Happy Halloween to you.

The same to you, Danny.

Let’s start with your solar power ghosts.

Yeah, we can all have solar lights and say as super energy fission¹ because you use the power this charge up. So why not take old bed sheet and look at I am gonna do. You hang it over the solar light, you take a little sharpy draw on the face of the ghost. Look, you’ve got an illuminated² ghost, so at night, when some ghosts down and the solar lights turn on, you’ve got this glowing ghosts hanging in the trees.

We have some video, there you go.

That is beautiful.

That’s look like, that is pretty awesome³.

How gorgeous that is! And paint spooky and uses the power of the super energy fission lights in a very creative way.

Can be that. Ok, let’s talk about this little ghost lights. This is ally D, right?

Yes, this is the newest thing in this string right now. Alle D since for a light and made in deal. It’s basically these lights with irregular string lights, it is pumpkins⁵. Here is a scary bat. They can last 25,000 hours because of the math.

What?

So if you do the math like 20,000, three and a half years will stay illuminated. If you plug it today, three and a half years from now, you have to up/ because it will finally burn out.

That is wonderful.

A 999 you can be with ouch.

I was just to say how it compared to regular lights.

Yeah, so for the long carats gray and it also feels very safe, cos it don’t get too hot to touch.

I don’t reach. Yeah. Ok, that we go.

Maga//.

So let’s talk about these, these are painted with nontoxic paint, which is the great idea?

Not just nontoxic paint, glue and dark paints. And better homes and gardens, we are obsessed⁶ with glue and dark paint, because it is nontoxic but also it uses the power of sun to charge up this special paint here, then you do little path where you glue the dark rocks they glue in great path right in your front door.

Do we have video of that?

No, no video. We can imagine of that. Ok, let’s go over to the jack-o-lanterns. Then once you put candles in, you recommend using soy candles.

Yeah, soy we know is getting fit in environment, because it is to be a newable soy beans that it’s not para for base and really inexpensive now. This is the five one from math, because you right here to soy, the last one in a half times longer and burn in traditional candles. Meaning you jack-o-lantern into your parties if outdoors. It could say illuminated a lot longer, so a really good choice. (and price?)And there getting much more comparative in price with regular candle. So if you think about how long it actually can burn, it can save money in the long run. And they come with this / almost pumpkin⁴ chips.

I think it poor containers will do a great idea for a parple.

Well, what will you do after Halloween with your jack-o-lantern? Actually we cycle the pumpkin as a planter. You should never throw away your pumpkin. Because believe it or not, all these seeds if you don’t actually germen it and then fears having problems for the vines. Yeah, and it’s actually horrific for / . so you actually should chap it up buried it in your garden if you can. All you set is a plan.

That’ a good idea, all right. Let’s talk about recycling and cartons, carbons. That’s a great idea too.

Well, who doesn’t have this regular carbon like a cut sharpy, or some black paint, if you make this scary a little bats. Here, this is the fun kids project. ( yeah) I’ll take all the carbon cards cut them into the shape of shines and clipping message on it and put it outside.

You are recycling. Speaking of recycling, this is the best, let’s go through the chocolate facial. How you could use your candy if you don’t need it at all.

Well, believe it or not, chocolate is good to fill because the antioxidant in dark chocolate.

It’s incorporated into lots of facials are chance sparse⁷.

Exactly, so why spend a lot of money use a little bit of milk, rich dark chocolate, / do you know. Put my hands.

And actually put it on my skin is gonna more straight skin. The antioxidant likely calm the redness on it (and then you can let it get out. ) It’s also get pretty to.

Yummy, taste too special I have ever had.

I know, and it is so easy to deal out your kids Halloween trick and treat bats and also hard candy too, you can recycle too. Just put like better /it into a clean coffee grinder. Take a little bit of your flavor, pat of sugar put inside the coffee and you’ve got flavor trip.

It’s nice to see you.

Thank you, Happy Halloween.

Thank you.
