Environmental Cost Of Pot Video.

Posted on September 16, 2010 by Mikal

Though apparently posted in May, this is the first time I’ve seen it. The video—with SoHum scenery and personalities, among others—covers the environmental damage caused by diesel pollution from remote, diesel-generator-powered grows, the trash and poison left behind on public lands by large grows and the energy used in on-grid grows. This is all true and fair enough (though I’m skeptical that the haze in the one scene is actually from diesel generators).

The benign alternative to this “pollution pot,” as some people here call it, is small-scale, organic growing operations on private homesteads or backyards. That’s what my documentary peeps are all about.
