Hydroponic Vertical Farming for Urban Populations
Many of us, who live in urban environments, take it for granted that we will continue to enjoy the large variety and plentiful quantities of fresh vegetables and fruits that we are able to pick up and put in our shopping carts in our local urban supermarkets, without thinking about the amounts of energy required to get them there.
Extended Producer Responsibility – Manufacturers Role in Conservation
Manufacturers generally view safe environmental practices at their own production level – regulated plant emissions, disposal or storage of hazardous waste, anti-dumping laws, etc. But after the product leaves the plant, its post-production life is out of their hands. This is the norm in the U.S, even though other potentially impactful phases — packaging and labeling, transportation and shipping, and, of course, disposal — all pose their own unique environmental threats.
