Falcon, thanks for pointing this out. Even worse is the celebration of plastic that has become Halloween (and other holidays as well). Talk about a true horror show. Hopefully, this trend will pass once it becomes commonplace for every household to display a 12-ft. plastic skeleton and huge inflatable ghost (the plastics industry loves you), but this only means that these monstrosities will end up further poisoning our environment in landfills and elsewhere. It’s a shame that the American celebration of holidays has to involve destruction and waste; Christmas is next with lighting that can be seen from space, using enough energy to heat 500,000 homes for a year, useless junk gifts, and enough paper wrapping to decimate entire forests. Earth just can’t get a break from us.
