Pumpkins

If your Halloween pumpkin is still on the porch, skip the trash: in landfills, pumpkins decompose without oxygen and release methane. Compost them at home or at several dropoff sites in the Kansas City area, or pay $99 to pick up larger displays and take them to area farms. Kansas City Star
