Landfilling pumpkins locks up “dangerous” CO2, they need to get their story straight before releasing the daily PR.

Imagine IF these people had something to do. Would we ever hear from them?

Why is a vegetable something to hide?

Maybe it's being stalked.

“Achtung: you peasants out there; vee are vatching you, and vee see zat you are having too much fun mit zis Halloween zing. Destroying the world with needless fun, hence vee haf decreed zat zere vill be nicht more pumpkins on Halloween... “

And here in Coastal California “the anointed smart ones” have decreed that even “approved” wood burning stoves are verboten. And I guess the whole country already have toilets which are incapable of “dispatching” your latest dump! Achtung, indeed!

“Imagine IF these people had something to do. “

I have an idea, put them in the unemployment line! Looking for alternative employment will be “something to do!”

Oh, yes. I do remember 15 years ago that the global warming models were all predicting excess jack-o-lanterns would be an important cause of global warming. Indeed, while the models included ALL harmless fun, such as the CO2 given off by kid’s birthday candles, as primary drivers, I do remember that jack-o-lanterns were specially singled out.

“1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins
254 million tons of municipal solid waste”

Why change the denominator?

Let me fix it.

“1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins
508 billion pounds of municipal solid waste”

That’s better.

The first way makes it sounds like the landfills are full of pumpkins.

But I thought pumpkins were SUSTAINABLE,NATURAL, ORGANIC, and TOTALLY BIODEGRADEABLE.

Gimme a break, they are such hypocrites

Well, we throw our pumpkin shells, egg shells, and just about all our other leftovers into the compost pile.

And we make pumpkin pie out of the insides. And we eat the butternut squash, shells and all.

Will the gubbermint send us a reward for all that? Or do they only reward the guys who go around robbing stores?

They've got it exactly wrong: pumpkins PREVENT global warming.

If you want to stop the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere you must sequester carbon. The best way to do that is to sequester stored carbon from growing plants. This is easily done by storing plant waste in landfills.

Therefor, STOP ALL RECYCLING. Send your garbage, papers, leaves, grass clippings, etc. to landfills. (Sarcasm [sort of] off.)
