Easy ways to get involved in Pumpkins for the planet 2024

Pumpkins for the Plant is a local grassroots initiative which brings our community together. Feel the glow of satisfaction from helping the planet (and maybe a little glow in your abs as well, if you are lifting pumpkins). Any help is appreciated - big and small.

Tell people about Pumpkins for the Planet while Trick or Treating!

We are finalizing some simple information cards that can be printed out and handed out as you go trick or treating.  Tell neighbours how they can repurpose their pumpkin,  leave an information card in little libraries, or slip them under some pumpkins as you head out trick or treating.  You can also print out something for your door! We will be adding documents to this folder- or send us an email and we will send you the page you would like.
