The uncertainty of the pandemic has forced many people to be more health-conscious and aware of what they’re putting into their bodies.
Being healthy is so much more than just vigorously washing your hands although that doesn’t hurt.
It’s also being mindful of the hidden chemicals or pesticides that we eat, drink, and even smoke.
While cannabis has been deemed essential due to all its healing, medicinal qualities, it’s important to research how your cannabis was cultivated.
But, how does one determine if what they’re smoking is actually organic or just more corporate greenwashing?
Growing cannabis indoors has a big climate impact, so why doesn’t the industry go outside?
Combined with an electricity grid heavy on fossil fuels, researchers found growing indoor cannabis in Colorado creates almost 50% more emissions than an equivalent. Author: Sam Brasch (Colorado Public Radio News) Published: 7:54 AM MDT April 7, 2021 Updated: 7:54 AM MDT April 7, 2021
DENVER Chris Baca wants to be upfront about the climate impact of his warehouse.
As the operations manager for The Clinic, a Denver-based dispensary, Baca has turned the windowless space in south Denver into a plant paradise. He said the trick has been to mimic the outdoor environment. Artificial lights fill the role of the sun. Fans pull in fresh air. Pumps feed water nutrients to hundreds of sprouts lined up along long tables.
The researchers then ran the model for over 1,000 different locations across the United States. The results showed a kilogram of dried cannabis would have the smallest climate effect in Long Beach, Calif., thanks to its mild climate and low-carbon energy grid. The same kilogram would be most intensive in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The median impact was about equal to the total greenhouse gas emission of a 9,000-mile road trip in a standard passenger car.
Colorado’s status as a cannabis pioneer doesn’t mean it’s ideal for indoor cultivation, either. The wild temperature swings of the Mountain West mean indoor operations need more energy for heating and air conditioning. Combined with an electricity grid heavy on fossil fuels, the researchers found growing indoor cannabis in Colorado creates almost 50 percent more emissions than an equivalent facility in southern California.
