Worried about sprays? And so you should. We all should. Eliminate the
doubt and support your local certified organic farmer.


That's just our problem! In the UK we don't have that many certified
organic growers, and a lot of our organic produce comes from spain and
further afield - so we may not get a personal dose of pesticide, but
we're contributing overall to global warming and vehicle emissions.


well obviously you do not take into account the polution that comes from
the pesticide industry and the destruction of your own local environment
(water, soil etc) from your local traditional farmers. I believe that
this is a much larger amount than the one done by the exhaust pipes of
the trucks that carry the organic to your country so dont feel guilty
about it. Just encourage more of your local farmers to use organic technics.

In my country we have very few oraganic and a lot of traditional farmers
that do not even think of changing their way of producing.
