Organic products, when buying organic pays (and doesn’t)

Posted by Ivan Storck | Filed under Sustainability

ConsumerReports.org – Organic products, when buying organic pays (and doesn’t): Good to see Consumer Reports weighing in on the organic standards debate. Actually, they’ve been quite good about promoting sustainability, one of their previous sites is about Eco Labels. The one thing I would add to this article is that I do buy sustainable seafood – from family / independent fishing vessels and also am a bit partial to Lush soaps and stuff. Even though they’re not totally organic they are getting close.

   excellent coverage! This is how you spell “Kyaenn”’s name. Yeah, who would have guessed.

   I find their reasoning not convincing – they tell me to buy organics only if I benefit from it, but what about the benefits for the animals, what about the benefits for the environment, what about the benefits for tomorrows life?
