Yesterday, I had a very pleasant time carving a pumpkin with my friend. However, this was both our first time carving a pumpkin, so we messed up a little and our pumpkin ended up not looking as good as we wanted. Nonetheless, it was a really cool experience and we had a lot of fun doing it.

It came to my attention however that when people carve pumpkins every year, a lot of pumpkins go to waste when all their insides are carved out and the pumpkins are left outside until they rot. I guess some people can eat the meat of the pumpkin or the seeds, but for those who don’t, it made me wonder if this activity is considered wasteful.
