DAY 39
GIVE ORGANIC FOODS a GO!
It is amazing how much effort goes into transporting food--have you considered what goes into food production?
Our water, especially in the Mississippi is heavily-laden with fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. Buying organic ensures that food is grown pesticide & herbicide free and with natural fertilizers.
Some organic foods can cost more--use this list to know what to buy if you're on a budget to reduce consumption of herbicides & pesticides: http://foodnews.org/
Pesticides & herbicides harm aqua-culture, they're hazardous to our health, and fertilizers have created a huge dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico.
Challenge: Research Atrazine and why this powerful herbicide is banned in most countries--except for the US.
