Pumpkins

Raising the Pumpkin from the Graveyard

Halloween pumpkins are great for teaching kids about sustainability. Show your kids how to be resourceful and to prevent waste by using the whole pumpkin inside and out.

• Keep an eye out for pumpkins that were grown organically
• Save the pulp for preparing a pumpkin-flavored snack (soup, muffins, pie, etc.)
• Use organic ingredients whenever possible
• Don’t toss the seeds – pumpkin seeds are delicious roasted, not to mention a great source of fiber
• Compost your pumpkin
