#6 Shop organic and local. #10Tips10Days?#CultivateSustainability Why shop organic? Organic produce must be produced without synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms. As far as organic meats, they have to be raised in a natural environment, no antibiotics or hormones, and are fed organic feed. Organic foods can also have more vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, etc and are just in general better for your health.? Another huge problem with conventional farming is that the chemicals runoff into our rivers into the oceans, lakes, and drinking water supply. This also has an effect on the wildlife and their habitats. Take time to research these things and make the decision that is best for you.? Side note: I look at companies like Monsanto, manufacturer of Agent Orange and DDT, and think yeah I don’t really want ANY chemicals in my food ever. Moving on! Why shop local? When you choose to buy local products, your money goes directly back into your community. This also reduces the need for the massive amount of transportation and also the foods that you buy will be more fresh and nutritious because they haven’t been in transit for weeks.
