CAR SHARING WITH I-GO OR ZIP CAR

  • Rather than buy a new car, sign up for membership with a car-sharing program such as Enterprise’s I-Go  or Zipcar. These programs allow you to reserve and drive cars by the hour — and they cover the cost of the vehicle, insurance, gas, parking, and maintenance.

CARPOOL

  • Carpool or use ride-share programs when you can.

Tips for celebrating a greener Halloween

Oct 1, 2024 |

There are lots of ways to reduce the impact of Halloween. Here are just a few:
  • Create costumes and decorations from items you already have at home.
  • Skip the fake webbing on bushes as it can trap and kill insects and birds.
  • As alternatives to giving out candy in all those wrappers, consider pencils, erasers or other eco-friendly treats.
  • If you are hosting a gathering, use your own dishes, silverware and glasses instead of plastic ware that gets thrown out.
  • Compost your pumpkins in your backyard or bring them to the Village Hall or Centennial parking lots on Nov. 6 from 9 am until 3 pm. Not from Wilmette? Click here for “pumpkins smashes” near you – and great reasons why those pumpkins should not end up in a landfill.
