  another reason to go organic

  Did you know that when conventional bananas are grown they are covered by these enormous blue plastic bags? And, when they have reached the desired maturity the bags are thrown on the ground and the bananas are harvested. The rains come, wash those pretty blue bags into the canals and then into the oceans. THEN, turtles - whose primary diet is jellyfish - eat the blue bags as they mistake them for dinner. Thousands of sea turtles die each year this way. ORGANIC bananas don't need no stinkin' blue bag. If you care about turtles, oceans, your health, the environment (have I covered everyone here yet?) then please spend the extra .20 and buy organic!On Umbra on organic bananas posted 1 year, 9 months ago 22 Responses
