Living an organic lifestyle isn’t just about what section of the produce market you buy from, it’s about so much more, from the clothes you wear to the gifts you give! The word organic doesn’t necessarily describe a particular food type or a clothing fashion you are buying; it is a description of processes used to grow and manufacture things like cotton or produce.
Everyday changes
Everyday people become more aware of the environmental issues our planet is facing and the damages we do to ourselves and our communities by consuming products that are exposed to pesticides, or made from artificial materials. Carcinogenic compounds are added to crops and cattle across the world over and are the cause of concern for many health minded citizens concerned about what they put in their bodies and on their skin.
Certified organic food and clothing was developed to combat this issue and ensure consumers that the food they are eating and the clothes they are purchasing are grown in natural healthy environments.
Our top ten reasons to go organic!
Listed below are the top reasons (among many) to buy organic for yourself or give organic gifts to others!
1. Living a more organic lifestyle helps protect your children from harmful chemicals that could affect growth and development
2. Organic products reduce pesticide use which is better for people and the environment
3. Buying organic products protects the health of the farm worker
4. Living organically reduces the use of pesticides and fertilizers on farm land, thus protecting the quality of water and preventing soil erosion
5. Organic clothes are softer on the skin, more sustainable, and sturdier than clothes treated with formaldehyde and exposed to pesticides
6. You can save money by living organically by buying organic clothes that have a longer lifetime then nonorganic clothes, or growing your own produce in a community or backyard garden.
7. An organic way of life is a more sustainable way of life.
8. Whether you are eating organic foods or wearing organic clothes, you feel good inside and out
9. Organic goods support a true economy. Conventional food and product prices do not reflect the hidden costs paid through taxpayers via federal subsidies, pesticide regulation and testing, hazardous waste disposal, and environmental damage
10. Living a more organic lifestyle supports a healthier you and environment!
