You never thought that spreading environmental awareness could be as easy as putting on a costume that showed an environmental problem, but now people have finally started wearing them.  To show off some of the environmental problems, costumes such as a drowning polar bear, and a dying bee were made.  These show the problems of global warming and the dramatic decline of honey bees.  People can show there support to help these environmental problems with out even looking out of place, since there halloween costumes.  Besides just showing what natural disasters are happening, the costumes themselves are environmentally friendly because they are made from things you would already have around your house, and you dont have to buy anything.

I personally think this is a great idea, and is also a great way to get little kids involved in wanting to spread environmental awareness while also having fun dressing up.  This article relates to class by showing how we should be more aware of the natural disasters happening around us, and since there spooky halloween costumes, they also show how scary these disasters really are.
