      It’s still waste even if the primary purpose is wasteful.

        Of all the things to worry about when it comes to waste Halloween doesn’t even scartch the surface for me

        Still waiting on someone to talk about how fishing nets are 50% of the plastic in our oceans

          It’s low priority for sure.

          Pumpkins are pretty low on my priority list, but entertainment isn’t really a good reason to throw useful stuff away. It’s a waste of water, waste of growing space, waste of fuel for harvest and transportation, and obviously a waste of food.

    Toasted pumpkin seeds:

    Using running water seperate seeds from pumpkin guts. Soak them in salt water while you carve. Preheat and bake at 220C for 15-20 mins. Eat them whole.

      Or rather than soak them, you can manually separate them, oil and salt them, then cook them on a lower setting until they start to go golden brown.

    I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure the pumpkins you carve are not the same pumpkins you eat. You can roast the seeds, sure, but the inside will probably taste like dirt

      They’re the same, I make pumpkin pie out of them. It’s so much better than from a can too.

      It can be. Lots of people do eat whats inside pumpkins that they carve. pies, curries, etc. I feel like in terms of waste is one of the much lesser wasteful things people are doing and it often makes good feed and compost
