Growing your own food can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Most food travels an estimated 2,400 km to get from the farmer’s field to your plate. A 2002 Worldwatch report demonstrates an average North American meal made with ingredients from a supermarket takes 4 to 17 times more petroleum consumption in transport than the same meal made from local ingredients.
In an urban environment, a greenhouse can be a great eco-conscientious growing option for enhancing your food production. Greenhouse growing traditionally produces a higher yield and a longer growing season. Greenhouses are also aperfect fit for smaller urban spaces.
The SunPod Greenhouse is one of our favorites, designed to be an ideal growing environment for starting seeds, protecting young seedlings and frost sensitive plants, container gardening, vegetable, flower and all season growing.
The SunPod is handcrafted from Forest Stewardship Council certified Western Red Cedar and stainless steel hardware. All wood components are coated with an organic linseed oil finish that is double boiled.
