圣迭戈县首届「砸南瓜」活动回收近2000磅南瓜：成了农场山羊和猪的饲料
圣迭戈县11月3日发布：万圣节过后，南瓜灯的用处还没有完。本月1日在加州圣迭戈县 Lakeside 举行的圣迭戈县首届「砸南瓜」（Pumpkin Smash）活动上，居民捐出的近2,000磅南瓜被送往当地一家农场与动物庇护所，成了那里山羊和猪的饲料。
这场活动由圣迭戈县公园与休闲局与非营利机构 I Love A Clean San Diego 合办，11月1日下午在 Lakeside 社区中心（9841 Vine St, Lakeside）举行，免费开放。居民把自家用过的南瓜灯与南瓜带到现场砸碎，碎南瓜随后被堆肥处理或送作农场动物饲料；现场还设有播种体验、游戏、万圣节服装捐赠与免费堆肥领取。
县政府表示，节后南瓜若直接丢弃、多半进入垃圾填埋场；通过这类活动，南瓜被重新用作堆肥与动物饲料，让万圣节的南瓜在10月31日之后继续派上用场。

San Diego County's First Pumpkin Smash Diverts Nearly 2,000 Pounds of Pumpkins to Farm Animals
San Diego County reported on November 3 that Halloween pumpkins can keep giving long after October 31. Nearly 2,000 pounds of pumpkins donated through the County's first Pumpkin Smash event, held November 1 in Lakeside, San Diego County, California, were delivered to a local farm and animal sanctuary, where goats and pigs enjoyed them as feed.
The event was hosted by the San Diego County Department of Parks and Recreation together with the nonprofit I Love A Clean San Diego on the afternoon of November 1 at the Lakeside Community Center, 9841 Vine St, Lakeside, and was free to attend. Residents brought their leftover jack-o'-lanterns and pumpkins to be smashed on site; the smashed pumpkins were then composted or given to farm animals. The event also featured seed planting, games, a costume donation drive and a free compost giveaway.
Instead of ending up in a landfill after the holiday, the collected pumpkins were put to work as compost and animal feed, the County said.
