Nor would I assume that a very large volume of any plant of choice would
be environmentally neutral.. there are poisonous plants of all sorts, and
who knows what effect even a cottage industry based on manipulation of
this or that one could have...
As for "digital" being environmentally friendly -- maybe at point of use,
but -- I'm told -- not at point of manufacture. Apparently, the process is
environmentally harmful in the (3rd world?) countries where the computers
are made.
The fact is that almost anything we do beyond die without issue is
potentially harmful....
