You carved me. You lit me up. You took photos with me.
Now I'm in the garbage — going to a landfill where I'll rot and release methane.
But I could've been:

Food for deer, squirrels, birds, and insects
Compost for your spring garden
Seeds for next year's pumpkins

The Facts:

Americans throw away 1.3 BILLION pounds of pumpkins every year
In landfills, they produce methane (a greenhouse gas 28x worse than CO₂)
Wildlife LOVES pumpkins — they're packed with nutrients
One pumpkin can feed a family of deer for days

What you should do (Nov 1st):

Smash it in your backyard for wildlife
Compost it (remove candle wax first)
Bury it in your garden as fertilizer
Remove decorations and leave it in the woods

Don't trash me. Feed your forest.
