Indoor Plant Sourcing and Ethical Practices

FAQ About Indoor Plant Sourcing and Ethical Practices

What environmental impacts should be considered when sourcing indoor plants?

When sourcing indoor plants, consider the environmental impacts of water usage, pesticide application, and the carbon footprint associated with transportation. Overwatering or inefficient water use can deplete local resources. Chemical pesticides can harm surrounding wildlife and ecosystems. Moreover, transporting plants over long distances contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Opting for locally grown plants and those cultivated using sustainable methods can help mitigate these impacts.
