Stop peeling carrots for stock, you're throwing away flavor.

I watched a prep cook spend 20 minutes peeling 10 pounds of carrots for stock last Thursday while the peels went straight in the trash. The skins have earthy flavor and color, so why strip them off just to toss them in compost? Has anyone else noticed cooks doing this and tried to break the habit?

Nobody's mentioning the pesticides and dirt trapped in carrot skins.
