In the past greenhouses were used for small gardens and caring for individual horticulturalists prized flowers but commercial greenhouses are in the focus more lately with all of the attention given to green and sustainable living choices.
For example, universities and agricultural departments have built commercial greenhouses for their studies. These were only a larger version of smaller greenhouses made for individuals. Many elementary and pre-schools were also building greenhouses to teach and to educate the generations to come. These children and students were learning about our world, our earth, life, organic growing, eating habits and self-worth.
Hydroponics has been used more and more recently in greenhouse structures to transport the nutrients directly to the plant roots thus saving the earth's soil that is growing increasingly scarce.
Lately, there has been some information out about building acreage vertical instead of horizontal which is termed "eco building". It is the concept of building large high rises or using unused office buildings built in glass to house plantations and generate crops. This would allow cities and countries to grow a wide range of vegetation in places where there were no spaces, or available land. It would also allow crops to grow in countries where at one time they had to ship crops in from other countries. This would allow gaining more economical standards for some countries who at one time could not grow a particular crop, example, tomatoes. Such is true for some of the nations poor populations. If we can supply healthy food through greenhouse growing for those who normally have climates that don't allow healthy growth, we could feed a nation by building these greenhouse structures up.
Organic fertilizing has been an issue we have struggled with over the years. We know chemicals placed on our plants is bad for you and we know that harmones injected into our livestock is also harmful. With organic living we can control the insects by allowing the good insects to kill off the bad and growing indoors allows this cleaner "greener" living. Our world has always had some faction carrying the mantra of "getting back to nature" but now is the time to take action and do this.
The conscientiousness of our economy, green living, and saving the planet are all nice well meaning ideas, but building vertical greenhouses are a great way to conquer all of these giants. - 32177
