SUMMARY:SCARCE Pumpkin Smash - RECYCLE PUMPKINS!
DESCRIPTION:Smash ’em – Don’t Trash ’em!  We are hosting a pumpkin smashing event to sustainably recycle pumpkins.  Saturday\, Nov. 7th from 10 am – 2 pm. \nFall is the pumpkin’s time to shine\, but what happens when it is time to say goodbye to the short-lived Jack-o-lanterns? Green your Halloween by recycling pumpkins into compost at a free\, outdoor Pumpkin Smash offered around Illinois in early November. \nBe part of the solution. Everyone can help fight climate change\nPumpkins are an organic waste that produces the potent greenhouse gas methane as they decompose without oxygen in landfills. These decaying pumpkins also leach water that filters through the trash piles and pollutes nearby waterways. \nThis project is done in collaboration with SCARCE\, an Illinois environmental non-profit that started Pumpkin Smashes in 2014. Since their start\, the efforts have composted over 1\,250 tons of pumpkins\, reduced greenhouse gas emissions by over 1\,000 tons of carbon dioxide\, and diverted over 300\,000 gallons of water from landfills. \nWe will be pumpkin bowling\, pumpkin smashing (obviously!) and playing for a chance to win prizes. \nMark your calendars!  It’s going to be a smashing success!!
