Little Green Feet

I opened the Royal Mail app to track a box of plants supposedly arriving today, and saw this: an estimated carbon footprint of my delivery’s emissions. That’s new. I suppose it’s a good thing that this particular delivery will be going in the dirt to soak up some more carbon. I wasn’t thrilled about having to order them in the first place, but I had a lot of seed failures, I didn’t get the wildflower bee and wildlife bed I wanted, and I need more native pollinators in the garden. But it’s interesting to see an environmental cost to ordering, put right there in front of me.
