3.26.2008 Elite Flowers: Growing a Better Bloom Robert Goodier is a communications coordinator for the Rainforest Alliance, based in our Guatemala City office. In February 2008, he traveled to Facatativá, Colombia to visit Elite, a flower farm that was recently awarded Rainforest Alliance certification. Here, he recounts the experience. 3.14.2008 A 'Greener' Palm Sunday On Palm Sunday, an estimated 35 million palm fronds will be distributed across the United States to Christian parishioners. That's 10 percent of the 300 million sold annually in the United States. Unfortunately, fewer than two percent of these palms will be harvested sustainably. The great majority may come from poorly managed forests, where they are likely gathered by poorly paid workers. No additional blog entries were posted during the month. |
