Yesterday, we went produce shopping. I was amazed at the fact that organic produce has to be wrapped in plastic. In order to be a certified organic store, this is one rule that has to be followed. I guess the organic produce can not come in contact with anything else, so they wrap it in plastic. This just isn’t organic in our mind. Plastic wrap, with a Styrofoam tray is NOT organic in the least. I am not sure who came up with this rule, but it seems to defeat the purpose of the produce being organic in the first place. Organic food should be wrapped in something organic….like paper. (more…)

Each day during February we will give you an idea on how you too can leave a little less “mark” on the world. What is your carbon footprint. We will give you ideas of things you robably never thought of. We will give you ideas on how to live a little better and things to think about. Subject matters will include, organic veggies (why are they wrapped in plastic), recycling, living well without, eating better and much more.
We hope you enjoy.
