Mothers' Day

The flower industry, as harmless as it may seem, is one of the world's largest contributors to global pesticide pollution. These chemicals poison the florists and farmworkers, seep into soil and groundwater, and travel through the food chain to affect animals such as birds and felines. This mothers' day, consider buying your mom a tulip from a local florist instead of from a supermarket. Go to a swap meet or find a neighbor who raises flowers, and support eco-friendly growth.
