Why Buy Sustainable Flowers?
- Sustainable flowers address the core purpose of sustainable production: to enrich the Earth. Your support encourages more growers to convert to sustainable practices and to reduce toxic chemical usage in the world!
- Pesticides and other toxic chemicals used on flowers can affect the health of farm workers and florists. Without the proper protection, the toxic chemicals can spread onto the clothes and into the bodies of farm workers which in turn can increase exposure to their children. Florists who handle non-sustainable flowers have been known to develop dermatitis on their hands.
- Buying eco-friendly flowers helps support local sustainable farming communities and organizations, which often have charitable, philanthropic motives for selling their flowers.
- Eco-friendly flowers are part of a natural, healthy lifestyle.
- The toxic chemicals used on flower farms can poison groundwater and the soil. These chemicals also become part of the food chain, as animals such as birds will eat the sprayed plants.
- Through evaporation, toxic pesticides and fertilizers that are sprayed on flower farms end up in the atmosphere. They then travel to other global areas to fall as rain or snow.
- Every flower counts: Increasing sales of certified flowers gives the market notice that more sustainable flowers need to be grown, which makes more flower farms convert to using sustainable agricultural methods.
Thank you for your support!
