Halloween trick-or-treating - a drive-through neighbourhood:

Spoiler: Driving and idling (fossil fuel combustion), plastic decoration, sugar 'treats' and traps for native wildlife.

Haunted by the spectre of climate disruption and the prospect of an uninhabitable biosphere they drive to event spaces turning neighbourhoods into drive-through (commercial) amusement parks for Halloween and Christmas.

* "People drive from miles and miles to participate in destination neighborhood festivities. The same kind of dynamic has long happened with Christmas.Halloween has gone from a primarily walking holiday to a driving holiday."

* "Research suggests about 30 percent of birds' nests may include human-made materials, posing a risk to nestlings. Halloween in Australia coincides with bird nesting season and birds are often looking for nesting material at this time of year, so there is the potential for these types of decorations to have a bigger impact here than in North America and Europe." >>

plat gf is really doing the godess's work getting these #retail jobs and quitting the instant they're unreasonable. Businesses'll learn to stop being a-holes if they can't keep staff in their store
She put #cashier and #driveThrough on her application and they had her washing dishes, cooking, and cleaning first in training and weren't flexible when she said she wouldn't stand over a hot stove for an extended period of time and she didn't apply for #lineCook. So she #quit :aqua_dab: #pgf
