However, this only applies when flowers are bought out of season, and there are environmental costs other than CO2 emissions that must be taken into account. Some experts have argued that it is better to buy flowers from tropical countries rather than temperate ones, since no heated greenhouses are needed in a tropical winter. The energy cost alone is significant-flower shipping just for Valentine’s Day results in some 9,000 tons of CO2 emissions, an amount equal to the total annual carbon footprint of about 500 Americans.

The flowers are grown in these warm, fertile areas, then are picked, refrigerated and shipped by air and truck to reach us. However, like so many things we purchase, flowers have hidden, not-so-beautiful costs.Ībout 30 percent of the cut flowers we use in the United States come from the highlands of Colombia, and many more come from Ecuador. And many people purchase them throughout the year, to brighten their homes and bring a bit of nature’s beauty indoors. The western world buys them en masse twice a year, on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.

And that will reinforce the perception that it's happening more often. Since the events are probably largely independent (happening without reference to each other) any apparent clustering of the events is by chance, and once the meme is out there, almost anything that can be pulled into the storyline, will be. In my opinion such events happen sporadically in society. It's difficult to imagine that the people actually committing these acts are really in such a fine touch with reality that they're acting out any kind of "zombie fantasy". why are we hearing so much about cannibals these days? But why do they act out their insanity in the particular way that they do? What signals do they pick up and distort?

In fact, I wonder if the people who delight in japing about a zombie uprising bear some responsibility for the crazy people who actually do try to eat brains? And finally legal blogger Ann Althouse blames us (and herself by extension) for the events:
