What did you think of Reverse Trick-or-Treating? Did you like it? If yes, that’s awesome! If you answer is a no, then it’s okay. Today, I will introduce the second activity that you can do to make this year a Green Halloween.
This second activity is called, Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF.
Now, I am sure that you have heard of UNICEF. You are possibly involve with UNICEF! If you aren’t, this activity will tell you quite a bit about UNICEF.
Activity: Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund). Visit official website.
What is it: “If you have got a box full of change, it’s time to count it out and send it to UNICEF to help save kid’s lives. UNICEF — The United Nations Children’s Fund — is working in more than 150 countries to provide health care, clean water, nutrition and education to children and their families. And because UNICEF is so good at its job, it does not take a lot og money to make a big difference” — UNICEF.

According to TheDailyGreen.com, each and everyone of us tosses out 4 1/ lbs of garbage every day resulting in 245 tons of garbage per year!
Now before throwing out anything, take an overall look at it. How is its condition? Is it still usable? There are collection centers that are willing to accept anything that is still in good condition. Ladies, do you have clothes that you considered a fab? Well, if those clothes are still in good shapes then donate them!

- CFL light bulbs. CFL bulbs do have some mercury and while I think it’s important to use them versus regular bulbs, when it comes to disposing of them, you should recycle. Home Depot has a CFL recycling program so you can just bring your old CFL bulbs to your local store.
- Lithium-ion batteries. The chemicals in them can leech into the soil and the water supply polluting the ecosystem. Take these to Best Buy, which collects and recycles them.
- Electronics equipment. These guys are often filled to the brim with poisonous substances. These include TV’s, stereos, speakers, and mobile phones. Check Earth 911 to find out where they can be recycled. Mobile phones can often be taken back by your cell phone dealer.
- Car-related fluids. Things like antifreeze, wiper fluid, engine oil, or anything that comes from your car is usually terribly toxic as you might imagine. You can recycle these normally at your local government hazardous waste collection point.
- Paints. This includes varnishes, stains, and paints. All of these should go to your local government’s designated hazardous materials collection point.
