Should we all boycott the Rose Parade?

Or maybe it should just be canceled altogether.

I’m not sure how it is for ya’ll, but the Rose Parade is a huge deal in So. Cal. The local news has been featuring all aspects of the parade since December 26th.

Since then, I have been hearing a lot about how many plants, flowers, nuts, seeds, grasses, etc. are being used to cover the floats. So many rare species have been flown from all over the world only to be stuck to a float for no longer than 7 days. And though I can’t give you a number, a sickening amount of abundant foliage is being used for the same purpose.

Is the Rose Parade really in line with our current move toward conservation and sustainability? What’s the point? Is a silly parade worth the waste of resources?

I have no real opinion on this. I just wanted to get all of your thoughts.
