Organic Food Is Good For People and The Environment
May 16, 2008 4:15 pm MiscellaneousIs eating Organic Food good for the environment? Many people say it is because it means people are eating food that is free of chemicals and pesticides. As more people demand organic food more growers and food producers will need to stop using pesticides and chemical fertilizers and use natural growing methods. The decreased use of those pesticides and chemical fertilizers will mean less of them getting into groundwater, rivers, lakes, and ultimately into our drinking water supply. A lot of water is already contaminated with fertilizers and pesticides. We should all demand organic food for our health and for the health of our planet.
