Here are a few Envirovore tips for pumpkin carving this Halloween season. 1. Picking your pumpkin: Go local. Lots of farmers markets and farm stands sell locally produced pumpkins. Better, head to a patch and pick your own. 2. Carving your pumpkin: Eat the seeds. They're nutritious, with high levels of essential amino acids and zinc. Here's an easy recipe. And for carving ideas, there are a host of stencils out there to show your support for conservation, like these cool landscape and wildlife scenes from the World Wildlife Fund. 3. Trashing your pumpkin: Don't! (Unless neighborhood kids have beat you to it.) Compost your pumpkin after that toothy grin begins to sag. We've already told you why and how. Or feed it to an elephant. Seriously. Some zoos take jack-o-lantern donations to use as animal feed. Give your nearest zoo a call. Of course, the more delicious option is to skip carving altogether and make a pie. Depending on your baking skills, this may be the scariest route.

Thanks for this post! I do have a compost, but I was worried about how long it would take for a pumpkin to break down. (I did roast the seeds!) But I hadn't thought of taking it to the zoo. I just called and my local zoo does accept them. I'm so excited!

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
