Friday freebies: Pesticide-free produce

Posted by Siel in environment, food, freebies, organic (Friday October 20, 2006 at 10:40 am)

A weekly sharing of eco-shwag!

If you had it your way, all produce’d be organic. As it is, much of our food’s doused with petrochemicals — and you don’t have the money to buy all organic produce.

If that’s you, the Environmental Working Group’s here to help — It’s put out a “Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce.”

Now, you can have a wallet guide AND a refrigerator magnet listing the “dirty dozen” — 12 veggies and fruits you should really, really buy organic — and the “cleanest 12″ — fruits and veggies that’re lowest in pesticides.

First 3 people to email or comment on this post will get both a wallet card and a fridge magnet, free :)

You can also download the guide here, and learn more at foodnews.org.

    Would love the wallet card and a fridge magnet so I can give to my daughter, who needs more education on the issue. Hope I made the cut…LOL

  5. Thanks Siel!

    Going to re-post your Cali proposition blogs at Care2.com, and at the LA group at Care2. My UCLA professor friend used your recommendations last year as a last-minute guide. Thanks for good research.

    Peace and Hugs,
    Larry

    P.S. Launching Ecopalooza Green Events Calendar next week. Could you make me a square banner ad for greenLAgirl…that is if you don’t mind the publicity?
