Perhaps the green movement has caught your attention and you'd like to get on board but don't know where to begin. One possibility: go organic.
 
What's organic?  Products labeled “100% Organic” and carrying the “USDA Organic” seal are just that – they contain all organically produced ingredients.  As a green living consultant, I explain that organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed.  It includes a system of production, processing, distribution and sales that assures consumers that the products maintain the organic integrity that begins on the farm. 
 
Were you aware, conventional farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, consuming 12 percent of the country’s total energy supply?  Also, most commercial fertilizers come from petroleum? More energy is used to produce synthetic fertilizers than to till, cultivate, and harvest all the crops in the US.
 
Choosing organic foods and products is just one sustainability concept to get you started.  Not convinced?  Here are a few more reasons why to go organic:
 

• Reduce the Toxic Load: Keep Chemicals Out of the Air, Water, Soil and our Bodies
• Protect Future Generations
• Build Healthy Soil
• Organic food Taste Better and has Truer Flavor
• Assist Family Farmers of all Sizes
• Avoid genetically engineered / modified food
• Promote Biodiversity
