Today's Fun Fact from The Chemical Story of Olive Oil (CSOO)
Some recent analyses show that the production of olive oil is so green, it actually REDUCES green house gases from the atmosphere.
In
"Sustainability" Chapter 10 of CSOO,* we take a moment to reflect on all the ways in which we can interpret sustainability. Sustainability can mean the cultural heritage embodied in the production of olive oil, a ritual passed down in families and in communities for hundreds of years. It can also mean the economic sustainability so important in thinking about carbon footprints and green industries.
