So I've always been a proponent of organic milk and produce...but am I ready to take the next step? How far do I go in making the household more organic? It's a big task, and it's not cheap...but the more we all express an interest in wanting organic products and foods for our homes, the more they will become available to us, and the lower the prices will become. In the meantime, what I will do is continue to buy organic milk (and as many dairy products as I can afford), and organic produce as much as possible. Especially for strawberries (all berries, really), lettuce, spinach, potatoes, apples etc. I might hold back on bananas, pumpkins, etc for now. If you can't eat the packaging, then my feeling is I can wait to buy organic on those.
Look for sales...and Costco even has some organic products now.
Trader Joe's is also your friend!
I also will be growing some of my own veggies this year as well. This is a great, easy way to be eco-friendly, and ensure that your produce is organic. No need to use pesticides, just hose or pick off the bad visitors (aphids, tomato hornworms) in your garden, and leave the good ones! (ex. praying mantis, ladybugs, bees)
Things I want to be doing soon: Composting on a large scale, having an even bigger veggie garden and going all-organic!
