With Halloween fast approaching, here are some ideas on how you can keep your Halloween pumpkins eco-friendly.

• Grow your own pumpkins! – this will save on vehicle emissions used by trucks to transport pumpkins into shops.
• Or if you don’t want to grow your own, source your pumpkin from a local farm where transportation is minimised.
• Decorate the pumpkin using natural resources, such as hay, branches and leaves.
• Compost your pumpkins – make sure you compost the insides when you scoop them out, as well as the rest of the pumpkin after Halloween.
