No doubt.
We all know that "Progressives" do biased studies to reach preconceived conclusions validating their agenda as opposed to doing unbiased studies that document actual facts.
What they included were the total sum cost of the house on the property, from cutting down the trees for lumber and other raw materials costs, to construction, use for the life of the house, and it’s demolition and disposal at the end.
Not even considering that garden or not, the house was there anyways.
Nor did they mention that if the yard space wasn’t being used for a vegetable garden, it would be either landscaped or lawn and both those need to be maintained and honestly, as far as I can see, do more harm to the environment with the number of pesticides and herbicides people use to keep their lawn looking picture perfect.
My garden is maintained mostly with compost and manure, and wood chips, which would exist and decompose regardless of whether they did it in a veggie garden or somewhere else.
The *study* was dishonest beginning to end.
Here is a breakdown of the study.
It’s just over 7 minutes and worth the watch.
