Loading...A ban on flower gifts
Flowers are amazing gifts, but they have a substantial negative impact on the environment, which is made worse by short lifespans. So, why not ban them and instead encourage alternative gilfts such as live plants?
Saudi Arabia banned red roses a while back, but for all the wrong reasons. Apparently, they encourage valentine’s day celebration, which is “un-Islamic.”
Live plants gifts are more long-lasting, and can even be more thoughtful than flowers.
True. Cut flowers are one of the top pollutants in the environment. The flower industry also uses vast amounts of water, not to mention its massive carbon emissions.
