Millions of Halloween pumpkins end up in the trash annually ( Credit: Unsplash/ CC0/ Freerangestock.com)

Every fall, Americans buy tens of millions of decorative pumpkins. Some are carved into spooky jack-o'-lanterns, while others are used simply for display. Unfortunately, the interest in these colorful gourds fades soon after Halloween. Experts estimate that over one billion pounds of pumpkins — more than 80 percent of the 1.3 billion pounds purchased annually — end up in landfills.

                    Oooooo I LOVE eating the pumpkin seeds. My dad roasts them on his grill and adds some seasoning. Once, I brought some to school as a snack and all of my friends kept asking if they could have some! Happy Halloween!!!! 🎃
