Buy Organic!!!

[trig]

I know its sometimes expensive but consumer support in this area would save allot of pollutants which are damaging the Earth and all that lives off her.
This is of course only a solution if you dont allready grow your own!

Also try to stay away from cotton, it is the most pesticide sprayed and water hungry crop on the planet!

You should also wash your clothes before wearing them because they are all soaked in Formaldehyde which is then absorbed in your body through your skin... nice

just my 2 pence

Many of the housing co-ops/intentional communities in UK run organic vegetable box schemes. You can be pretty sure these are true organic vegetables as the people tend to be more ethical.

As for formaldehyde in new clothes yes and they are also in carpets too, which I didnt know until a medical consultant told me.

And in chipboard, particle board, MDF (medium density fibre board), OSB (oriented strand board) plywood and some glue laminated timber e.g fingerjointed.

The above products are used in house floors, kitchen cabinets, IKEA furniture etc...with the advent of plantation forestry, remanufactured products like the ones above have taken over the solid board market that was once dominated by rain forest sourced board. The downside is it's laced with toxic adhesive that out gasses at room temperature.:(

This is the one I use and recomend. All the prouce comes from local independantly-owned farms and it's fresh. I got some carrots last week that were covered in soil which was still damp!

Yes, it's a bit more expensive, but Trig's right. The more people who buy it the more the price will drop. As it is organic and ethical products are increasing in popularity so this process has already begun. Actually I pay £18 a week and get a box of enough salad to last me the week with half a pound or organic, free-range ham and a bottle of blackcurrant cordial. That's only a little bit more than supermarket slurry would cost.

Te one down side is that you can only get food that's in season, but that's not really side when you consider the environmental damage and human exploitation involved in geting us all-year-round fruit and veg.

Organic veg/fruit taste far beter too, thing is- i can barely afford the weekly shopping as it is- i have to opt for 'value' veg/fruit etc because its the cheapest and im earning so little from the system (because im not prepared to work 50hrs a week to ge a decent wage) i cant afford it- this seems to be a luxury for the rich only in this country!:(

i'd love the space to grow my own but my gardens smaller than a postage stamp!! lol!!

Hi Trig & welcome to the forum :)

Yeah I totally agree and try to buy organic as much as I can, even though it costs more. Although I would much rather be growing my own stuff, but can't really do that at the mo as my garden is only slightly bigger than Lotties, lol!!

Have you considered buying less organic rather than more intensive? The price will work out the same, but the nutricional value will make up for it. And in my view the improved taste of organic makes it a bargain!

Yeah, if they want us to eat organic, it has to come down in price, but that doesn't seem to be the agenda for the illuminati!:(
I did have the space in my garden for growing, but turned 1/3 of it into a massive skywatching area, I mean patio!!;):D

I LOVE YOU.

G'day Trig. http://www.lifeshore.com/smiley/data/media/2/3D_emoticon_216.gif

Welcome to the forum.

I eat almost totally organic. I find that it is unecessary to eat as much because the energy supplied in the organic produce is of greater benefit for the physicality. This helps in reducing the cost of eating organically as opposed to non-organic food, which you would require more of to gain the same energy from it.

It also means that you aren't funding the suppliers/manufacturers of the chemicals that go into the production/farming of foods.

THANK YOU.

For those with postage stamp sized gardens or none at all. Lots can be grown in pots with good soil window boxes, sprouts can be grown inside along with trays of baby greens, sunflower, pea, and of course wheatgrass and dont forget wild foraging. If you passion is there the options manifest.
