Description: Choose natural food which is less harmful for the environment as well as for you! Avoid harmful additives such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, artificial hormones and antibiotics. Agrochemicals degrade the land, pollute drinking water and cause nitrogen pollution, which eventually kills living organisms in aquatic environments.
Also, the chemicals used in traditional agricultural methods can be extremely devastating to the environment and to human health. Agrochemicals degrade the land, pollute water and cause nitrogen pollution which eventually kills all living organisms in an aquatic environment. Not to mention that agrochemicals inadvertently end up in human drinking water supplies, and have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and low academic performance among other things.
By buying more organic food, we will lessen the demand for products grown in the traditional chemical intensive manner. By doing so, we will reduce the amount of chemicals entering our bodies and the ecosystem. [view]
