The Organic Center facts
The fact that organic food still makes up only 2 percent of total food sales, The Organic Center based in Rhode Island is a nonprofit organization that has a goal. They have taken on Mission Organic 2010, a campaign to get the word out about the health benefits and ecological benefits of organic foods. The Organic Center wants to get every consumer to increase their organic consumption by 10 percent when the year 2010 hits. You too can help in this effort by signing a pledge and publicly announcing your commitment to make at least a tenth of your eating choices to be organic.
The center also states that if the group achieves this goal, pesticides will disappear from 98 million, 8 ounces servings of drinking water and antibiotics and growth hormones from 20 million, 8 ounce servings of dairy milk.
I have already taken my pledge…… So sign the pledge with me and lets all make a change for the better.
*Going Green Tip: For those homeowners who appreciate the beauty and character of old wood, consider using reclaimed wood flooring. Planks and boards remilled from old railroad trestles, barns, houses, as well as factories offer distinctive, environmentally friendly options. Reclaimed wood is not only appealing it is also a conversation piece throughout your home.
