Olympic Gold and Silver medalist and PETA poster child Hannah Teter must think flowers grow everywhere, year round. From People:
“I went out last week and bought $200 worth of flowers and put them in my room by my bed – roses, lilies and lilacs,” the earthy Teter, 23, tells PEOPLE. “When you surround yourself with nature, it’s really powerful. Everything makes a difference.” She doesn’t just surround herself with it, Teter reveals she’s a vegetarian and puts the best stuff in her bod.”
Ms. Teter is also apparently going “off grid” and moving into a yurt. I’m sorry, I need to repeat that. Ms. Teter plans on moving into a yurt.
From People:
“In addition to eating healthy, Teter wants to live greener overall, too. “I’m moving into a yurt in the woods near my parents’ home in Vermont,” she says about inhabiting a portable tent-like dwelling.”
For all her love of getting comfy with nature and loving on the environment, what part of buying $200 of flowers make her green? It’s February. Roses grow from late spring to late fall, but mostly mid-summer. Lilies grow from from mid-June to August. Lilacs grow from mid-spring to early summer. In February, despite how not cold Vancouver is, you still have to get roses, lilies, and lilacs from somewhere.
Here are two possibilities:
- Hannah is buying them from some super fancy climate-controlled greenhouse in Vancouver that uses electricity and fossil fuels to keep flowers growing abnormally throughout the winter.
- Those flowers were imported, traveling on massive container ships from some far off land, burning fossil fuel along the way. Which I have no problem with. But Yurt-girl might. Continue reading ‘Yurt-Dwelling Gold Medalist Lives Off the Grid, but Loves Her Flowers (Imported)’
