We Halloween greenies in Los Angeles love Treehugger.com (headquartered in Brooklyn) and make it a regular stop on our web haunts, but take a look at this bulb they’re offering here. Not sure why, um, a candle won’t do instead; but hey, the symbolic gesture shows How Much You Care. And what’s a little more mercury in a landfill in a faraway place? [I stand corrected: a soy candle.]

On the other hand, the Audubon Society gets it right with a list of things you can do like carrying reuseable candy bags and making your own costumes and decorations. Plus, their Green Halloween page has cool, creepy links to bat and owl “basics” like anatomy diagrams and feeders you can build.
