TGiF! Enjoy this week’s eco-friendly tidbit…
The pumpkin carving season has arrived, but what do you do with your pumpkins once Halloween is over? Before you toss them in the trash, consider one of these eco-friendly ways to recycle them.
1. Add your pumpkins to your compost pile. Why throw them away when you can use them to create magnificent dirt? If you haven’t started a compost pile yet, check out our compost series for a breakdown of what to do.
2. Bake the seeds for a healthy snack. Soak the seeds overnight. Remove all the pulp and allow the seeds to dry. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until crunchy. Lightly salt.
3. Make a delicious pumpkin dessert. Check out these websites for creative pumpkin recipes. Boutell.com andThepostpunkkitchen.com.
Please let us know if you have any other fun ideas.
