With the threat of global warming knocking on the heels of our children and grandchildren, more dramatic storms to endure, it is now critical that we take a conscious decision to purchase from companies that allow us to help reduce the carbon footprint we leave behind us.

It seems that our carbon footprint is a way we can personalize and look from within on doing our individual part to reduce greenhouse gases and avert the continuation of global warming. Global warming is a real and serious threat, and it is something that we can all combat in our daily lives. It means being responsible and taking responsibility for our actions, whether it's filling up at the pump, or buying toilet paper, taking a trip, or sending flowers to a loved one.

Companies such as Dell, Goodbaker, Lancome, Viator, WebEx, and Yakima allow one to reduce this footprint by offsetting purchases through investing in carbon free initiatives through Carbonfund.org. Sending flowers is no different.

Why is this important? Actually, a majority of the cut flower industry produces quite a bit of carbon. As most know, airline flights produce a significant amount of carbon, and most of the cut flowers are flown in from overseas. Then, coolers and refrigeration must be used throughout the distribution channel up until flower delivery. This creates an even larger carbon footprint. Then the final carbon whack in sending flowers is with the delivery trucks. Automobiles are some of the biggest culprits when it comes to greenhouse gases.
