Zombies and Paris Hilton on Halloween

Halloween isn't a very eco-friendly holiday but then again not as bad as Christmas. The reason for this is the wasting of food. I'm talking about the tradition of emptying out pumpkins.

I recently saw a movie called Zombieland so to keep the Halloween theme I wonder what would zombies do on the last day of October. They would probably dress up as normal people and empty out a human head and light a candle in it. But an ecozombie wouldn't just throw away the brain. No. He would eat it. So if you are a zombie you should always eat the brain when you take it out of the corpses head. Don't waste it!

To continue the theme I must confess that I have been following Paris Hilton on Twitter. A couple of days ago she posted that she had found a perfect pumpkin for Halloween. So all the rich spoiled kids from her neighbourhood can now enjoy the perfect jack-o'-lantern when they visit her on the big day.

I'm pretty sure that Paris won't eat the pumpkin guts and will just throw it away like most Americans. So if you are a zombie, a Paris Hilton or some other kind of American then don't waste food on Halloween! You can make soup out of pumpkin guts and dry and roast and salt the seeds. They taste just like sunflower seeds but are a bit harder to peal.

Being eco isn't supposed to be easy or fun. Even if the soup is disgusting you have to eat it. The planet is counting on you!
