I suspect I do far more damage to myself and the environment with how I use computing equipment than I'll ever do on Halloween. It really depends on how you do Halloween. > We are completely fine growing so many pumpkins only for them to be carved and thrown away We roast the seeds of any pumpkins we carve and compost the remains. The ones we don't carve get turned into pumpkin pie. We get immense satisfaction from the planning, carving, and displaying of our Jack-o'-lanterns. > we buy a ton of costumes that are worn once and go to the landfill We tend not to buy the cheap costumes, but instead assemble our costumes from a combination of costume parts and real items. We have chests full of this stuff and even if we don't use a particular item again, our spooky entity-creations do. The stuff will only end up in the landfill if my inheritors throw them away. > we buy so many candies a lot of which probably gets thrown (which is probably better than eating them). I eat all the candy. I give myself permission to eat less-than-great from Halloween to New Years. If I start getting some chub, I work out a little extra. I even did this when I was a body builder (just don't tell any of my trainers). *Edit: HN-specific markdown...
