Is sending mom cut flowers on Mother's day bad for the environment?
Cut flowers die and release CO2. Sending mom flowers for fifty years can't be very good for the environment can it?- i'd be more worried about the petro - chemicals and fertilizers used on the plants. not to mention the CO2 burned in transporting and cooling the plants
- The flowers are grown specifically for the Mother's day market so they would not exist if no one sent flowers to their mom. When the flowers have wilted, they are either thrown away or composted, even if they are incinerated, a portion of the carbon remains in the ash so effectively there's a net reduction in CO2 which benefits the environment. However the energy involved in transporting the flowers is usually from fossil fuels and hence the CO2 released from shipping the flowers represents a net gain in atmospheric CO2. So get the flowers locally short of pulling them out of your mother's flower beds to minimize the fuel used in shipping and it may actually benefit the environment
- No, most of these flowers have already been dead for a long time, just stored in water. Anyway, the flowers are not grown wildly, they're made inside greenhouses, so more oxygen is made than what would have happened naturally the only problem is chemicals that they may put on the flowers to grow them
- That little percentage is not going to add that much to global warming. You think all the factories and cars are going to stop on mothers day? No, plus depending on the flower it's going to die sooner or later
- get her some paper flowers or painted flowers on canv instead, no CO2 and they last a lifetime if you take care of it. and something for a change for your mom
- Who cares? Your mom will be pleased, and is not that worth it? She nurtured your frail body with the milk of her so you could live, and grow to become a person. Not to mention she sheltered you as a youth and provided material and emotional comfort. Which mother would you rather please? Buy her the flowers!
