Yes. Cut flowers are awful. I will die on this hill. Masses of water, fertiliser and pesticides used to grow them, on land that could probably be used for food. Wrapped in huge amounts of plastic, transported in chilled vehicles. Thrown away after a week. The whole thing is a horrendous waste.

I wrote this piece while volunteering at the Compass FoodBank in Ontario, early in my research career.
Most do this kind of work later. I needed to start with it.
It wasn’t for a CV or award but to learn & help drive change.
