A Note on Pumpkins

October 30, 2015 · Neil Kurtzman

The Department of Energy has just issued a pumpkin alert. Before digesting it ask yourself a few questions:

1. Where did the carbon in the pumpkin come from?
2. How will it get into the atmosphere if the discarded pumpkin is buried in a landfill?
3. Doesn’t the Dept of Energy have anything better to do than worry about old pumpkins?
