If you’re concerned about the health of your family, you might want to consider going organic.

Four Reasons to Go Organic

1. You are supporting sustainable farming, which recycles natural resources rather than depleting them. Unlike intensive farming, which strips the soil of nutrients and applies artificial ones, organic production builds the health and fertility of the soil.
2. You and your family are helping to protect and encourage wildlife such as insects, birds, bats and butterflies and the wildflowers and trees that they depend on.
3. You are contributing to your children’s ongoing good health by building a strong immune system, which will help to protect them against illness. The food that you eat will have more vitamins and minerals compared with non organic foods. Chemically treated food is forced to grow faster and bigger with artificial fertilizers and nutrients are often lost in the process.
4. You are helping to protect the ozone layer and save energy. Chemicals that are sprayed on crops damage the ozone layer and contribute to global warming and require large amounts of non- renewable energy to produce.
