Well, did Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF catch your interest? It did? That’s great? What? It didn’t? Wow, you are picky!
Today, I will introduce the LAST activity!
This third activity is called, Trick-or-Treating for Cellular Phones.
Activity: Trick-or-Treating for Cellular Phones. Visit official website.
What is it: The Women’s Funding Alliance and other women’s fund around the country are working in multiple ways, such as partnering with Green Halloween, with the Good Deed Foundation to collect cell phones. The goal is to recycle one million cell phones by the end of every year, thereby raising over a million dollars to be distributed via grants to organizations working to alleviate women’s poverty and find lasting solutions to climate change.

As mentioned from last week’s post, I would be introducing a number of Green Halloween activities that you can do to help our planet. I also hinted that these activities are not your traditional trick-or-treating experience.
However, before I start. I would like to say that I found these activities from GreenHalloween.org. So, all credits goes to GreenHalloween.org. All I am doing is spreading the word!
The first activity is called, Reverse Trick-or-Treating.
Activity: Reverse Trick-or-Treating. Visit official website.
What is it: The purpose of this acitivity is to raise awareness of Fair Trade Certified chocolate and help end abusive labor conditions in the cocoa industry. This year, instead of accepting candy, hand out Fair Trade chocolate and/or informational cards on why supporting Fair Trade practices in the cocoa industry is a year’s round must!
“Reverse Trick-or-Treating is an initiative of Global Exchange and is collaboration between national and regional nonprofit organizations advocating for Fair Trade and against child labor in the cocoa industry, such as International Labor Rights Forum and Washington Fair Trade Coalition…Many organizations and chocolate companies, including numerous ones involved in Reverse Trick-or-Treating have signed the Commitment to Ethical Cocoa Sourcing, calling on the cocoa industry to end abusive child labor in the cocoa fields and pay cocoa farming families a fair price that allows them to meet their basic needs.” — GreenHalloween.org.
