More and more we have made the switch to reusable shopping bags and no longer use paper or plastic bags for our shopping adventures. This is fantastic our combined efforts have the potential to save marine life, finite resources, and money. If you're in the car, you should be proud of the difference we are doing. If not, hop on!
Since you've already started "greening" their buying experience with reusable bags, let's look at how take these efforts a step further with organic products and the positive things that can result.
1. Organic products are made without chemicals. Farmers who grow organic fruit and vegetables or things like organic cotton that is used to make clothes that take proactive measures to eliminate weeds and pests. These measures allow them to avoid the use of chemicals such as pesticides, which eventually make their way into our water supply (and food we consume). Moreover maintenance of chemicals being ingested by us, organic farmers also conserve soil helps keep it free of chemicals.
2. A lot of organic products at your local store carries locally-grown. Therefore, the amount of pollution generated and energy consumed in transporting the food to the store is much smaller.
3. The animals receive better treatment of organic farmers. Conventional livestock, for example, can be very upsetting when you review the methods of raising livestock and slaughter. Organic farmers generally treat animals better results in less diseases that can happen to us, and a more tender meat.
4. Organic food is also grown without the use of antibiotics and / or growth hormones in the final product. Although antibiotics can help maintain a healthy product, while raising / grown, may also reduce the nutritional value food. The same happens with growth hormones, although the jury is still out on how, exactly, growth hormones affect us when we eat food that contain them. However, many countries have banned its use, it's not a very good sign.
In conclusion, organic food is better for the environment, best for their local economy, better for the animals that eventually become our food, healthy and safe to eat. You can not ask for much more, right? The next Once you're in the store, fill reusable bag with some organic products!
