Sustainable Event Number One!

For my first sustainable event, I attended a sustainable pumpkin carving part at Jen B.'s apartment.  We held it last Sunday, and it was the perfect way to incorporate sustainability into my favorite holiday, Halloween.

Woo Pumpkin Carving!

After we cleaned out the pumpkins (arguably my favorite part), we separated the seeds from the guts.

Who knew that three pumpkins could produce that much gunk?

We took advantage of the fact that Jen B. is now composting, and composted the guts.  Then, Jen B. ended up roasting the pumpkin seeds, so nothing from the pumpkins ended up being waste.

This was a really fun study break, and it was a great way to encourage sustainability.  We had some other friends there who weren't very familiar with composting, so it was a fun opportunity to educate them on how composting works, and how we can reduce waste through composting.
