Our local deer are THANKFUL for your Halloween PUMPKINS! πππ When done with your holiday pumpkins, find some woods or a field near you and smash open your pumpkins and leave for our local wildlife to eat this Winter.
Pumpkin is safe for them and the seeds act as a natural dewormer. (Be sure to break them up so the deer donβt get their head stuck inside!)
2.5 billion pumpkins produced, only one fifth gets reused.
The rest end up decaying in landfills creating methane gases that harm the environment. So recycle those pumpkins to the wildlife (or even to a wildlife rehab if thereβs one near you or ask a local farm if they want them for their cows or pigs) recycling plus a food source for hungry!
Win win! ππ
