We are embracing a conservation culture at home, work and at our farm but at times it feels as if it is against all odds. Customers still want product to specification no matter what season. We suppy the floral industry with natural materials like birch poles, and greenery from our farm north of Toronto and we are currently working with a local greenhouse grower to supply a big event. It was hard not to argue with design choices that involve importing product from overseas when great alternatives were available locally and would better reflect the flavour of the event. Yes, the customer or designer may be right and now they also have some new ideas and awareness of what is available locally (no charge).
So my conclusions are that patience is one main ingredient required to embrace this culture as well as the tenacity to spread the conservation gospel. What's your point of view?
