At Garden Remedies, we believe that mitigating the climate impact of medicinal cannabis is just as vital as medical cannabis itself. For that reason we’ve developed a series of innovative plans to reduce our own footprint across the weeks, months, and years to come.
Read on for details about some of what we’re doing now, some of what we’ll be doing in the future, and even some ways that you can help out yourself:
Measured our carbon emissions through Radical, a certified independent partner.
We perform biannual waste audits within our cultivation and manufacturing facility.
Our goal is to divert 25% of landfill waste by June 2023.
Reduced single-use plastic PPE by switching our Tyvek suits to machine washable coveralls and scrubs. Waste reduced by 7100.53 lbs.
Host monthly Community Clean-Up Events near all our locations.
The Coalition advocates for changes to CCC regulations to incentivize more sustainable practices.
