Even if you don’t grow your own organic vegetables, you can fight the good fight by asking for more organic produce in your local market. While most greengrocers are willing to make an effort to please specific customers, they’re business people first and foremost. They want to make money, so they’ll stock what people are willing to buy.
So make your desires plain; if they don’t offer an organic version of a particular item, let them know you’d be willing to pay extra for it. The more folks ask for organic produce, the more available it will become — and since organic vegetables are grown using sustainable agricultural methods and no chemical poisons, spending a few more pennies can go a long way toward saving the world.
