Making Green, Greener: Establishing Sustainability In Cannabis Through Energy Regeneration (Room Booth # 1525)

20 Feb 20
12:00 PM - 12:20 PM

Tracks: Lightning Lesson

Since its early days of legalization, cannabis has struggled to match its sustainable image. With the immense amounts of energy used for indoor cultivation, the water used to grow the plants, the fuel used to transport, and the packaging required to sell them, sustainability and cannabis have become anything but synonymous. But what if there was a way to couple cannabis and sustainability? During this session, Solar Therapeutics CEO, Ed Dow, will tell the Solar Thera story, discuss ways his facility is designed to achieve sustainability, and how others can begin to integrate sustainability components and help reshape a seemingly “non-sustainable industry.”
