Maybe some of the new environmentally friendly companies can come up with items for Halloween that can be recycled or at least made from recycled fabrics

Some of the costumes that we had as children we cobbled together from stuff we already had in the house. Like a gypsy costume from a big skirt, a scarf and old jewelry.
I am sure there are lots of creative ways to use things that we already have around the house, and not purchase new non recyclable stuff.

not to mention you save $; though alot of times party city has great sales as Halloween gets closer and closer....though I get why store bought costumes have appeal as you don't really need to worry about possibly ruining something you plan on wearing/using again....yet as adults you can wear a store bought costume multiple times; why spend a ton of $ and time on it every year? spend $/time on planning a fun fall activity/haunted house/festival etc
