Organic is not a thing; it is not a product. It is a philosophy: a way of thought and a way of living, based on the awareness that everything is connected and everything is in relationship with everything else. If you do just one thing—make one conscious choice—that can change the world, go organic. Buy organic food. Support organic farmers. No other single choice you can make to improve the health of your family and the planet will have greater positive repercussions for our future.
