ShutterstockOh god. Don’t make me recite the boiling frog haiku again.
We believe in making green second nature. But the idea of eco-themed Halloween costumes feels a bit strained. Plus, they often tread into the depressing (zombee) and the requires-too-much-explanation (Count Frackula would shun disclosure, at least).
Umbra’s taken on the issue several times. Here are some of our favorite suggestions:
- A glacier in 2050. Carry a glass of water.
- Cap-and-trade. Shuffle around a pile of hats.
- A food villain. Ronald McDonald with a curled mustache.
OK, so maybe Umbra hasn’t hit her stride on this particular topic either. Any ideas, boys and ghouls? Leave your suggestions in the comments below.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of our Ask Umbra advice column, and to celebrate, we’re pulling a favorite gem of eco-advice out of the archives each week.
