Green Solutions: Reducing Carbon in Cannabis & Tobacco

Description:

Tobacco and cannabis are among the largest industries in the world. However, both leave a significant carbon footprint—particularly in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to worsening global warming, these conditions could ultimately affect product quality and make it more expensive for consumers. In this session, industry experts discuss the challenges of managing their environmental impact. They share the sustainable approaches they’re taking to reduce their contribution to climate change and satisfy their customers who demand more eco-friendly solutions.
