This Halloween, save the squash.
End food waste.
After 50 or so Halloweens, an average person might end up throwing out 150 lbs of food waste in their lifetime in the form of pumpkin Jack o Lanterns.
We propose to save the squash.
We use an archaic way of lighting on a pumpkin, while so many people are dying of such diseases and malnutrition which would be helped by the halloween pumpkin, rich in vitamin A and many other nutrients, but because of this candle burning and carving, we waste this food that could have meeant a healthy meal to a child or a family.

Join the activists of the 21st century who care about one another using technology to help. Get a solar panel-powered LED Jack O Lantern sticker for your pumpkin. Re-use it each Halloween to save your Squash, and enjoy a forgotten Halloween treat - Pumpkin.

Save the Squash, End Food Waste, End Food Insecurity.
