More Hip Than Hippie #180 Green-O-Ween

The scariest thing about Halloween could be all the waste we generate for the big night! Have no fear, the Hipsters get into the spirit of the holiday with the founders of GreenHalloween.org, Lynn and Corey. They share ideas for everything from costumes to decor to trick-or-treat goodies. Also, Dori tries out her Austrian accent, and Val tries to make a "huckleberry face".

Beer and Chocolate:

Beer: It's your huckleberry! Another of Val's Idaho finds, Coeur d'Alene Brewing Co.'s Huckleberry Ale is sure to attract bears, if not Hipsters.

Chocolate?: From the Divine Chocolate holiday goodie bag, we try White Chocolate with Strawberries. It's Fair Trade Certified, but...well, it's white chocolate. 'Nuff said.

Hip News and Finds

Finds:

  • 'Ella good. A grad student fashioned a lightweight umbrella frame called the Eco-Brolly. You can use any old newspaper or plastic bag as a cover. Or fill it with Rihanna CDs.
  • The Fonz approves. The new COOL law kicks in this week, so you'll see more "Country-Of-Origin-Labels" in the supermarket. Exceptions to the rule: just about everything you buy. Not cool.

 

Hip News
  • Action hero. Gov. Ah-nold Schwarznegger is hosting a climate-change summit, bypassing the feds and beating the UN to the punch by a month.
  • Choc suey. Cadbury recalled its Chinese-made chocolate products after finding they contained melamine.
Teenie Weenie Greenieā„¢

Egg-scuse me? Listener Shayna shared a half-dozen uses for empty egg cartons. Some ideas: use them to ship breakables, to sort change at your yard sale or to start seedlings. If they're clean, try giving them to egg vendors at your local farmers' market!

  • Fright club. Corey and Lynn started GreenHalloween.org as moms concerned about the earthly impact of All Hallow's Eve.
  • Ghoulicious. The friendly souls at Global Exchange offer Fair Trade Halloween chocolate and party streamers. It's too late to order a Halloween Kit, but save the site for next year.
  • Beewitching. Corey and Lynn love to use beeswax candles for holiday decor. These honeypot jack-o-lanterns are a scream!
  • EEEK-o friendly. Lug your loot from door to door in this year's limited-edition Halloween Chico Bag. It'll look great with your recycled costume.
  • Mummies know best. The ladies' new book, Celebrate Green, is full of tips to green up all the occasions in your life...and your afterlife! Mwah hah hah hah!
