well....

flowers are pretty, and i don't want to tell you to abolish your flower bed.

but, these commercial greenhouses are actually awful for the environment, and take away space and fertilizer that could be used to grow nutritious fruits and vegetables.

it's a good example of the kind of unsustainable practice that needs to be changed; it's a great demonstration of how wasteful we are.
